Unreal Engine – Throw Helper VR Component UE8435
UPDATE 1
New options added:
Keep Initial Speed – if set to True, only direction of initial velocity vector will be changed during correction. Use case – bowling like games.
Tightness Velocity, Tightness XY – how strong is correction. 1 – full correction, 0 – no correction. Use case – drop of granades, when there is no need for 100% accurate throw, just a little correction.
UPDATE 2
New option added for THTargetActor: Position prediction.
Now you can use position prediction for moving targets. It works pretty well for targets that have linear velocity. Keep in mind – it will not give you a 100% prediction. That’s why I consider this feature as experimental.
Still, you can modify prediction logic to use your algorithm and math. See Get Target Position in THTargetActor.
UPDATE 3
Improved performance.
UPDATE 4
Small fixes
UPDATE 5
Fix for UE5
Adding Velocity smoothing. The component itself calculates the speed of the actor and smooths it over N frames. The functionality can work even if there are no Targets in the scene, improving the user experience with poor tracking.
