Component:BallisticPathMesh

Component image 

Ballistic Path Mesh component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The ballistics path mesh is a component that generates a stripe or tube mesh that traces the future path of a virtual thrown object.

Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled.
HighPriorityIntegration	Bool	If true, integrating this asset (e.g. processing procedural assets) gets higher priority than assets with this flag off. An example is user laser procedural meshes.
OverrideBoundingBox	Bool	Force the bounding box calculated from this component to use OverridenBoundingBox instead of calculating when requested.
OverridenBoundingBox	BoundingBox	the bounding box this component should say it has when OverrideBoundingBox is enabled. Useful for bounding box calculations with Flux, or changing the selection box for this component when rendered.
Profile	ColorProfile	The profile that the vertex colors for this mesh should be displayed in.
InitialPosition	Float3	The initial position of the ballistics path.
InitialVelocity	Float3	The initial velocity of the ballistics path.
Gravity	Float3	The gravity affecting the ballistics path (m/s^2)
Drag	Float	the resistance through the air of the generated ballistics path
Mode	StepMode
StepSize	Float
TotalUnits	Float
Shape	PathShape
Size	Float	How big to scale this ballisitics path
Points	Int	how many points the final ballistics curve should be made of
DualSided	Bool	whether the generated mesh should be dual sided.
Up	Float3	The up direction against gravity for the generated mesh (local space)
DistanceSizeGrowth	Float
MinGrownSize	Float
MaxGrownSize	Float
UseLastSegment	Bool
LastSegmentPosition	Float3

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Description
BakeMesh()	Action	Bake meshes is a sync method that creates a static mesh component with this component, replaces all references to this component with the static mesh component, then deletes this component.

Examples

This is commonly used in the teleport to locomotion for the indication visual for teleporting.
