BaseChange

event BaseChange ()

BecomeViewTarget

event BecomeViewTarget (PlayerController PC)

BroadcastLocalizedTeamMessage

event BroadcastLocalizedTeamMessage (int TeamIndex, class<LocalMessage> InMessageClass, optional int Switch, optional PlayerReplicationInfo RelatedPRI_1, optional PlayerReplicationInfo RelatedPRI_2, optional Object OptionalObject)

Bump

event Bump (Actor Other, PrimitiveComponent OtherComp, Object.Vector HitNormal)

CollisionChanged

event CollisionChanged ()

Called when collision values change for this actor (via SetCollision/SetCollisionSize).

ConstraintBrokenNotify

simulated event ConstraintBrokenNotify (Actor ConOwner, RB_ConstraintSetup ConSetup, RB_ConstraintInstance ConInstance)

When a constraint is broken we will get this event from c++ land.

Destroyed

event Destroyed ()

Detach

event Detach (Actor Other)

EncroachedBy

event EncroachedBy (Actor Other)

EncroachingOn

event bool EncroachingOn (Actor Other)

called when this Actor is encroaching on Other and we couldn't find an appropriate place to push Other to

Returns:

true to abort the move, false to allow it

Warning: do not abort moves of PHYS_RigidBody actors as that will cause the Unreal location and physics engine location to mismatch

EndViewTarget

event EndViewTarget (PlayerController PC)

Falling

event Falling ()

FellOutOfWorld

simulated event FellOutOfWorld (class<DamageType> dmgType)

called when the actor falls out of the world 'safely' (below KillZ and such)

FinishAnimControl

event FinishAnimControl ()

Called when we are done with the AnimControl track.

GainedChild

event GainedChild (Actor Other)

GetActorEyesViewPoint

simulated event GetActorEyesViewPoint (out Object.Vector out_Location, out Object.Rotator out_Rotation)

returns the point of view of the actor. note that this doesn't mean the camera, but the 'eyes' of the actor. For example, for a Pawn, this would define the eye height location, and view rotation (which is different from the pawn rotation which has a zeroed pitch component). A camera first person view will typically use this view point. Most traces (weapon, AI) will be done from this view point.

Parameters:

• out_Location - location of view point
• out_Rotation - view rotation of actor.

GetActorFaceFXAsset

event FaceFXAsset GetActorFaceFXAsset ()

Used by Matinee in-game to mount FaceFXAnimSets before playing animations.

GetFaceFXAudioComponent

simulated event AudioComponent GetFaceFXAudioComponent ()

Function for allowing you to tell FaceFX which AudioComponent it should use for playing audio for corresponding facial animation.

HitWall

event HitWall (Object.Vector HitNormal, Actor Wall, PrimitiveComponent WallComp)

InterpolationChanged

simulated event InterpolationChanged (SeqAct_Interp InterpAction)

called when a SeqAct_Interp action affecting this Actor received an event that changed its properties (paused, reversed direction, etc)

Parameters:

Note: this function is called on clients for actors that are interpolated clientside via MatineeActor

InterpolationFinished

simulated event InterpolationFinished (SeqAct_Interp InterpAction)

called when a SeqAct_Interp action finished interpolating this Actor

Parameters:

Note: this function is called on clients for actors that are interpolated clientside via MatineeActor

InterpolationStarted

simulated event InterpolationStarted (SeqAct_Interp InterpAction)

called when a SeqAct_Interp action starts interpolating this Actor via matinee

Parameters:

• InterpAction - the SeqAct_Interp that is affecting the Actor

Note: this function is called on clients for actors that are interpolated clientside via MatineeActor

Landed

OnAnimEnd

event OnAnimEnd (AnimNodeSequence SeqNode, float PlayedTime, float ExcessTime)

Event called when an AnimNodeSequence (in the animation tree of one of this Actor's SkeletalMeshComponents) reaches the end and stops. Will not get called if bLooping is 'true' on the AnimNodeSequence. bCauseActorAnimEnd must be set 'true' on the AnimNodeSequence for this event to get generated.

Parameters:

• SeqNode - Node that finished playing. You can get to the SkeletalMeshComponent by looking at SeqNode->SkelComponent
• PlayedTime - Time played on this animation. (play rate independant).
• ExcessTime - how much time overlapped beyond end of animation. (play rate independant).

OnAnimPlay

event OnAnimPlay (AnimNodeSequence SeqNode)

Event called when a PlayAnim is called AnimNodeSequence in the animation tree of one of this Actor's SkeletalMeshComponents. bCauseActorAnimPlay must be set 'true' on the AnimNodeSequence for this event to get generated.

Parameters:

• SeqNode - Node had PlayAnim called. You can get to the SkeletalMeshComponent by looking at SeqNode->SkelComponent

OnRanOver

event OnRanOver (SVehicle Vehicle, PrimitiveComponent RunOverComponent, int WheelIndex)

Called each frame (for each wheel) when an SVehicle has a wheel in contact with this Actor. Not called on Actors that have bWorldGeometry or bStatic set to TRUE.

OutsideWorldBounds

simulated event OutsideWorldBounds ()

called when the Actor is outside the hard limit on world bounds

Note: physics and collision are automatically turned off after calling this function

OverRotated

simulated event bool OverRotated (out Object.Rotator out_Desired, out Object.Rotator out_Actual)

Called by ClampRotation if the rotator was outside of the limits

PhysicsVolumeChange

event PhysicsVolumeChange (PhysicsVolume NewVolume)

PlayActorFaceFXAnim

event bool PlayActorFaceFXAnim (FaceFXAnimSet AnimSet, string GroupName, string SeqName)

Play FaceFX animations on this Actor. Returns TRUE if succeeded, if failed, a log warning will be issued.

PostBeginPlay

event PostBeginPlay ()

PostInitAnimTree

event PostInitAnimTree (SkeletalMeshComponent SkelComp)

called after initializing the AnimTree for the given SkeletalMeshComponent that has this Actor as its Owner this is a good place to cache references to skeletal controllers, etc that the Actor modifies

PostRenderFor

simulated event PostRenderFor (PlayerController PC, Canvas Canvas, Object.Vector CameraPosition, Object.Vector CameraDir)

Script function called by NativePostRenderFor().

PostTouch

event PostTouch (Actor Other)

PreBeginPlay

event PreBeginPlay ()

RanInto

event RanInto (Actor Other)

ReplicatedEvent

simulated event ReplicatedEvent (name VarName)

Called when a replicated variable declared with the repnotify modifier is received on the client. During initial replication, this event may get called a few times before PostBeginPlay() is called.

Parameters:

• VarName - the name of the received variable.

Reset

event Reset ()

RigidBodyCollision

event RigidBodyCollision (PrimitiveComponent HitComponent, PrimitiveComponent OtherComponent, const out CollisionImpactData RigidCollisionData, int ContactIndex)

Called when a PrimitiveComponent this Actor owns has bNotifyRigidBodyCollision set to True and ScriptRigidBodyCollisionThreshold > 0 and is involved in a physics collision where the relative velocity exceeds ScriptRigidBodyCollisionThreshold.

Parameters:

• HitComponent - the component of this Actor that collided
• OtherComponent - the other component that collided
• RigidCollisionData - information on the collision itself, including contact points
• ContactIndex - the element in each RigidCollisionData.ContactInfo's ContactVelocity and PhysMaterial arrays that corresponds to this Actor/HitComponent

RootMotionExtracted

simulated event RootMotionExtracted (SkeletalMeshComponent SkelComp, out AnimNode.BoneAtom ExtractedRootMotionDelta)

Notification called after root motion has been extracted, and before it's been used. This notification can be used to alter extracted root motion before it is forwarded to physics. It is only called when bRootMotionExtractedNotify is TRUE on the SkeletalMeshComponent.

Note: It is fairly slow in Script, so enable only when really needed.

RootMotionModeChanged

simulated event RootMotionModeChanged (SkeletalMeshComponent SkelComp)

Notification that root motion mode changed. Called only from SkelMeshComponents that have bRootMotionModeChangeNotify set. This is useful for synchronizing movements. For intance, when using RMM_Translate, and the event is called, we know that root motion will kick in on next frame. It is possible to kill in-game physics, and then use root motion seemlessly.

ScriptGetTeamNum

simulated event byte ScriptGetTeamNum ()

SetAnimPosition

event SetAnimPosition (name SlotName, int ChannelIndex, name InAnimSeqName, float InPosition, bool bFireNotifies, bool bLooping)

SetAnimWeights

event SetAnimWeights (array<AnimSlotInfo> SlotInfos)

Called each from while the Matinee action is running, to set the animation weights for the actor.
