Foliage Interaction

BP_FolaigeInteraction

Adding interaction to your character

Foliage character interaction is handled by our blueprint component BP_FoliageInteraction. It is located at "/EasyBiomes/Blueprints". Interaction sounds are using trace channels, so always use our DefaultEngine.ini or at least make sure to copy trace channels from our project. More info at Migrating Assets.

Please note that our product supports only one character at a time. While it is theoretically possible to add interaction to multiple character simultaneously, each one will still be processed uniquely. Performance costs would grow linearly, adding second character would double performance cost, third - triple and so on. So we chose to stay within reasonable performance bounds and limit interaction to one character only.
