Recoil Motion Component

Recoil Motion Component simulates recoil by applying random movement and rotation to the equipment virtual bone, making weapons more believable.

• Placement: Preferably on the equipment.

• Default Computation Stage: 5

• Inputs:

  • Preset Data: Requires the Preset: Recoil Motion fragment that defines the recoil settings.

  • Recoil Scale: A multiplier that controls the recoil scale, this could be used to make the recoil less perceptible when aiming.

Usage

• Call Init and pass the weapon’s fire rate in RPM (Rounds Per Minute = 60 × rounds per second).

• Call SetFireMode and choose Semi (single shot) or Auto.

• Do this on BeginPlay and every time your Fire Rate/Fire Mode changes.

• Call Fire every time a shot is fired. this is what actually makes the hands "shake".

• Call StopFiring when the weapon stops shooting.

RecoilMotionComponent is completely local. Play should be called for each character instance.
