Grid Actor¶

This section provides an overview of the CentralGrid actor's properties that affect the grid logic, visuals and debugging.

Property	Type	Description
Show Grid	Boolean	If set to true, the grid will be visible. Can be set at runtime.
Show Area	Boolean	If set to true, the area around the selected tile will be visible. Can be set at runtime.
Show Selected Tile	Boolean	If set to true, the selected tile will be visualized. Can be set at runtime.
Show Preview Mesh	Boolean	If set to true, a preview mesh will spawn to visualize and demonstrate item placement on the current snap location. Can be set at runtime.
Lock Grid Position	Boolean	If set to true, the grid position will be locked. Snapping will stay unaffected.
Grid Size	Float	Specifies the area size of the grid. Snapping will stay unaffected.
Grid Extent	Float	Specifies the extent of the grid. The greater the landscape elevation, the higher this value should be. Snapping will stay unaffected.
Grid Draw Height Start	Int	Specifies the start height from where the grid will be drawn. Snapping will stay unaffected.
Area Scale Factor	Float	Defines the scaling factor for the area surrounding the selected tile. The size of the area is proportional to the size of the tile and can be increased by a set percentage.
Tile Size	Int	Defines the size of the grid tiles.
Adjust Preview Mesh Size	Boolean	If set to true, the preview mesh will be resized in accordance with the tile size.

Property	Type	Description
Grid Color	Linear Color	Defines the color of the grid.
Area Color	Linear Color	Defines the color of the area surrounding the tile.
Selection Color	Linear Color	Defines the color of the selected tile.
Preview Mesh Color	Linear Color	Defines the color of the preview mesh.
Grid Glow	Float	Defines the glow intensity of the grid.
Area Glow	Float	Defines the glow intensity of the area surrounding the tile.
Selection Glow	Float	Defines the glow intensity of the selected tile.
Preview Mesh Glow	Float	Defines the glow intensity of the preview mesh.
Preview Mesh Transparency	Float	Defines the transparency of the preview mesh.
Custom Grid Material	Material	Replaces the material used by the plugin for the grid.
Custom Area Material	Material	Replaces the material used by the plugin for the area surrounding the tile.
Custom Selection Material	Material	Replaces the material used by the plugin for the selected tile.

Property	Type	Description
Enable	Boolean	If set to true, audio feedback for selected tiles is enabled. The playing of audio is dependent on the settings configured in the Get Snap Parameter function.
Volume Multiplier	Float	Volume multiplier for the audio feedback (Range 0-1).
Custom Cue	Sound Cue	Replaces the audio cue used by the plugin.

Property	Type	Description
Object Trace Distance	Float	Defines the Target Object trace distance. This value will be overwritten if Lock Z-Axis is set to true on the GetSnapParameter function.
Line Trace Extent	Float	Alters the start and end location for the line traces to calculate the z-coordinate to snap to.
Tile Corner Line Trace Padding	Float	Specifies the padding of the corner line traces. It is crucial to note that the value should only be intentionally set to zero or lower, as traces will hit the neighboring tile and potentially cause undesired side effects. The minimum value, which corresponds to the center location of the tile, is equivalent to half the tile size.
Drag Height Multiplier	Float	Multiplies the drag height, allowing you to drag higher but will also make scrolling more rapid.
Ignore Actors For Decals	Array<Actor>	Actors added to the array will not be affected by the grid visuals. This includes the grid, area and selected tile decals.
Ignore Actors For Line Traces	Array<Actor>	Actors added to the array will not be affected by any line traces issued by this plugin.

Property	Type	Description
Enable	Boolean	Enables debug settings.
Show Vertical Indicator	Boolean	If set to true, a vertical indicator will appear to assist with debugging vertical dragging.
Show Line Traces	Boolean	If set to true, all line traces used by the plugin for calculations will be visible.
Show Hit Location Line	Boolean	If set to true, the original hit location will be indicated by a vertical line.
Show Hit Location Sphere	Boolean	If set to true, the original hit location will be indicated by a sphere.
Show Debug Panel	Boolean	If set to true, a debug panel containing the most important information will be displayed in the top-left corner.
Line Trace Color	Color	Defines the color of the line traces.
Hit Location Indicator Color	Color	Defines the color of the original hit location indicator.
