E_BulletType

Description

• Enum for type of bullet - i.e. can be hitscan or projectile based

Possible values

• LineTrace - used for hitscan ("bullet" hit will be instant)
• Projectile - used for spawning projectile when shooting

E_FireMode

Description

• Enum for fire mode of the weapon

Possible values

• Semi - semi automatic - it will shoot one bullet per input pressed
  
• Auto - automatic - it will shoot multiple bullets, one after the other, as long as input is pressed
  
• Burst - burst - it will shoot multiple bullets, all at once, when input is pressed

E_SpreadType

Description

• Enum for bullet spread

Possible values

• Angle - bullet spread will be based on provided angle(float value) - the spread will be in a cone with that angle as diameter
• Pattern - pattern exported from EUW_SpreadPattern tool(shipped with the product) will be used for bullet spread

E_BurstType

Description

• Enum for burst - same as the one for bullet spread but will be used only for Burst fire mode

Possible values

• See E_SpreadType - it's the same

S_WeaponFire

Description

• General configuration for weapon firing

Parameters

• BulletType - the type of firing (hitscan or projectile based) (see E_BulletTypo)
• ProjectileType - the class type of the projectile, only used if BulletType = Projectile
• Mode - firing mode of the weapon (see E_FireMode)
• Rate - fire rate of the weapon in bullets/second
• Distance - distance that the bullet can travel in UE units (cm)
• TraceChannel - channel to be used for traces when firing (this is also used for projectile based fire, not only for hitscan)
• SKMeshTag - tag that is set on the Weapon skeletal mesh - this is needed in order to find the MuzzleSocket
• MuzzleSocket - the muzzle socket on the Weapon skeletal mesh - basically, it's the starting position of the bullet

S_SpreadAngle

Description

• Used for weapon spread - only if SpreadType == Angle (see E_SpreadType)

Parameters

• AngleDegrees - the angle in degrees for the cone in which the bullets will spawn

S_SpreadPattern

Description

• Used for weapon spread - only if SpreadType == Pattern(see E_SpreadType)

Parameters

• Bullets - spread pattern generated by EUW_SpreadPattern tool
• SpreadMultiplier - the spread pattern is normalized and this is used for how much spread to apply - can be changed for more/less spread per bullet

S_WeaponSpread

Description

• Weapon spread settings - uses E_SpreadType, S_BurstSpreadAngle  and S_SpreadPattern

Parameters

• SpreadType - how to calculate the spread (angle or pattern)
  
• Angle - if SpreadType == Angle, see S_BurstSpreadAngle
• Pattern - if SpreadType == Pattern, see S_BurstPattern

S_WeaponRecoil

Description

• Settings for weapon recoil

Parameters

• UseRecoil - controls whether recoil to be applied or not(if false, other settings do not matter)
  
• SprayBuffer - buffer of time for each shot in order to be considered spraying - i.e. if fire rate is 3 and buffer is 0.5 it means that if the weapon is shot faster than 0.33s(3 bullets/sec) + 0.5s, it is spraying
• RecoilOffsets - recoil to be applied/bullet as a curve (x and y -> pitch and yaw offsets, time is the actual bullet index, z is not used)
• RecoilOffsetsMultiplier - multiplier for RecoilOffsets
• RecoilSpeed - how fast to apply the recoil
• RecoilSpeedMultiplier - multiplier for RecoilSpeed
• RecoilDecaySpeed - how fast to decay recoil
• RecoilDecaySpeedMultiplier - multiplier for RecoilDecaySpeed

S_BurstSpreadAngle

Description

• Settings for BurstMode when Type == Angle

Parameters

• Count - number of bullets to be shot 
• AngleDegrees - bullet spread will be based on provided angle(float value) - the spread will be in a cone with that angle as diameter

 

S_WeaponBurst

Description

• Settings for Burst Mode (only used when E_FireMode == Burst)

Parameters

• Type - type to use for weapon burst, either angle or pattern
• Angle - only used if Type == Angle
• Pattern - only used if Type == Pattern

S_WeaponAmmo

Description

• Simple settings for Ammo logic

Parameters

• MagazineAmmo - how many bullets there are per magazine
• TotalAmmo - how many bullets does the gun have - this is without what is in the magazine

 

S_WeaponData

Description

• Configuration for the weapon. This aggregates all the previously mentioned data types. This is needed / weapon to configure everything.
