Very rough start to this node, I wanted this to be documented because it bugged me how much I looked this up. Thank you Yosh and HYPER_ZEN for the information/discussion |
Added visuals and added the input/outputs of this page. |

Apply Character Impulse
Physics
Applies a impulse to a character controller, impulses are similar but different from the force node from a physics perspective.
Impulse is the change in momentum of an object, or otherwise an "normalized" version of force.
In this case, the impulse node takes Force and applies it across dT, making it framerate independent.
Inputs
Input (Call)
Calls to trigger the character impulse.
Impulse (float3)
The direction to send the slot holding the character controller component.
Character (Character Controller)
The reference itself to be sent in a direction.
Ignore Mass (bool)
The option to ignore mass in the character controller component when being sent in a direction.
Outputs
Next (Continuation)
Continues execution from here.
