BP_MegaGridUnit¶

BP_MegaGridUnit is a blueprint only actor designed to serve as the base class for timeline based path movement logic. It maintains a high degree of customizability and modularity with the help of BPI_UnitMovement interface.

Variables¶

TArray<FVector> PathLocations- Locations of all the tiles in the path. Set via StartMovingUnitOnPath().

AActor* Caller - Calling actor or target. Sends messages to this actor.

float SpeedMultiplier - Playback rate for LerpTimeline.

TimelineComponent LerpTimeline - Timeline responsible for lerping location and rotation.

StartMovingUnitOnPath() | Interface Implemetation¶

Inputs

PathLocations - Locations of all the tiles in the path.

Target - Target actor to send completion messages.

SpeedMultiplier - Playback rate for Timeline.

MoveUnit()¶

Moves and rotates the unit to the next tile location / rotation. Called recursively.

BPI_UnitMovement¶

A blueprint interface responsible for managing path movement logic. These functions require the interface to be implemented.

StartMovingUnitOnPath()¶

Type: Event and Function.

Target - Target actor to send completion messages.

SpeedMultiplier - Playback rate for Timeline.

OnMovementComplete()¶

Type: Event and Function.

Inputs

Unit - Actor who called this function.

TileIndex - Last index of the path.

OnTileEntered¶

Type: Event and Function.
