Spawning Radial Force Component through Character BP

[anonymous_user_cecfd49f]

I was wondering if it’s possible to spawn a radial force component from the player character without it affecting the character itself?

Reason I’m asking is that after trying numerous ways of spawning a different actor with a radial force component attached to it and wanting it to ignore my character, I can’t do it without changing object types of various blueprints and such, so I figure the only way for my character to not get sucked in (the basic concept is a ball of sorts that sucks enemies in, but not the player character) is for me to spawn a radial force component from the character BP.

Haven’t ever tried this, but there are ‘Set Ignore Owning Actor’ / ‘Set Ignore Radial Force’ bools.
If none of that worked, it’d be interesting to test if applying a reverse force would neutralize it etc…

Yeah, those are all set to true, just wondering on how I can simply set a Radial Force Component without attaching it to anything in particular.

Not at my rig, but there are Add Force / Add Impulse at Location nodes (not Component based).
Or create / spawn invisible mesh / BP and fire Radial Force from it (many ways to approach this).

That’s what I tried to do the first time, but adding the Radial Force through another actor won’t ignore the player character.
