I’m having trouble figuring out what I need to do to get the function to work like the initial call. I have a function that is called when the hit actor is valid it adds a projectile movement component to the hit actor and allows me to “push” the hit actor. This works when I first add the component, however after I check to see if the component is valid so that I’m not adding more than I need, the second call does not work like the first.The probelm only shows up if I try to “push” the same actor that I have already added the componnent to.
I’ve tried deactivating after a delay and then reactivating, but no luck. I have tried clearing all the variables and resetting them to the same as the initial call but still, nothing.
What I want to go for is to be able to dynamically “push” any actor without having to manually put in the projectile movement component per actor. If you guys have any other ideas on how to go about achieving this, I would greatly appreciate the advice. I have the blueprint and video for visual.
What you’re doing here is… trying to make a physics system.
Try using “Add Impulse” instead of adding a projectile movement component, and doing anything you can to maximize use of “Add Impulse!” There is also “Launch” nodes for this purpose. Just keep in mind not quite everything can have this applied to them- that’s what a physics engine is and also why very few games utilize heavy physics- it’s very demanding.
*tip: Add Impulse needs highish numbers so if it seems like it’s not affecting anything add 4 zeros.
What @Mind-Brain said is the correct path. You don’t add a movement component to an actor that is already controlled by another movement component. Just asking for issues.
On the flip if you still want to use PMC you just need to update the component that PMC is going to move every time you want to add new movement.
Yeah, I ended up changing this to a launch character the moment I posted this lol. I normally use a launch character for these situations. Not sure what I was thinking adding the Projectile Movement Comp. One of those days I guess hahaha.
