Stuck In UE4 Physics Hell

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

So I'm trying to get my AI_character to knock back when hit. I've spent all morning on this and got nowhere. I'm suspicious of the spazzing.

 

Here's the project. Halp plz.

knock back means first calculating the force then figure out the acceleration then apply the acceleration to figure out the velocity then using the velocity to figure out the position of the knockback object. You also need to factor in impulse and such if you want the game to be more realistic. I suggest you just google up the physics equations, like most science illiterate programers do... ahem

Anyways, coding it shouldn't be too much a hassle once the math and physics part are figure out.

You could use an animation & have it end where you want the character relocated to. 

You could also just use a standard “move distance of ____ units” 

 

Finally i don’t know if Unreal has this but Unity has an “add force” command. If you’re already using this with the correct direvtion applied, try making the force unreasonably powerful. Always double, half or factor of 10 (up or down) your variables when unsure of what’s happening or not happening. 

 

I don’t know the Unreal API.
