Pushing NPCs away while walking

[Everynone]

No, add to the velocity or override it. Adding impulse could also work since the movement comp understands it. But velocity is more of an override, it will ignore ground friction, their need to walk in a specific direction, animation and so on. Whenever pawns move, they generates velocity, you can override it with:

Take the velocity of the Bat => apply it to the Zombie - now they’ll move together. Have a look:

How to push a character away when falling on them or moving towards them?

Probably with velocity : [image] Since you’re telling the CMC what to do, this will propagate to all other systems that rely on it - collision, friction, physical interactions and so on. Another, more nuanced way: apply radial damage with Damage Type Class (make a new Displace class, lets say) [image] use the damage type to preprocess damage values and have the recipient instead apply velocity change to itself: [image] As a massive bonus, you’ll get the Damage…

You can shove characters with it.

• you could get fancy with it and tell the Zombie to MoveTo where the bats are moving instead
• or you could Apply Movement in the direction of the bat movement for as long as the bats are nearby (overlapping?)
