Scatter objects along curves/splines

Properties

Base Properties

Name	Description	Type
Curves	Curves to scatter on	Actor
Scatter	Meshes to scatter	Actor
Density Mode	Changes the density mode.	Dropdown
Density	Density represents a value relative to the objects you scatter, and give you plausible results.	Float
Distance	Points will be scattered along the curve at this distance from each other	Float
Count	Controls the number of scattered objects along the curve	Integer
Fit Axis	Set the axis of the object looking in the right direction, and the object will be fitted using that.	Dropdown
Fit Mode	Specify the fit mode for the objects	Dropdown
Pattern	Pattern to fit the objects	String
Start Scatter	Scatter objects at the start of the curve	Actor
End Scatter	Scatter objects at the end of the curve	Actor
Flip Ends	Flip the start or end scatter objects	Dropdown
Fit Margin	Add or remove a margin around the fitted objects	Float
Pivot Offset	Compensate pivot on the up axis	Dropdown
Fill Stretch	Stretch the objects along the curve to fill it completely	Boolean
Min Scale	Minimum scale of the scattered objects	Float
Max Scale	Maximum scale of the scattered objects	Float
Path Smooth	Smoothness of the path curve	Integer
Sink	Sinks the scattered objects above or below the curve, along its normals	Float
Tangents Jitter	Randomize position along the tangent of the curve, breaks up uniformity.	Float
Binormals Jitter	Randomize position along the binormal of the curve, breaks up uniformity.	Float
Resolution	Controls the sampling resolution of the curves	Integer
Scale Jitter	Randomly jitters the scale of each scattered object	Float
Random Spin	Randomly spins the scattered objects around their axis	Float
Spin Axis	Axis to spin the objects around	Dropdown
Seed	Creates random variation of the current scatter setup	Integer

Parallel Width

Name	Description	Type
Section	Which side of the curve to keep	Dropdown
Distance	Creates two parallel paths along the sides of the path	Float
Count	Number of parallel paths to have on each side of the path	Integer
Smooth	Smoothness of the parallel paths	Integer
Angle	Angle of the parallel paths	Float
Height	Offset the height of the parallel paths	Float
Keep Center	If set to true, the original path will be kept along with the parallel ones	Boolean

Feature Masking

Name	Description	Type
Surface	Projects the objects along this input mesh(es)	Actor
Add Mask	When masking is used, this can help you randomly restore masked objects	Float
Remove Mask	Randomly mask out objects	Float
Slice Start	Masks the scatter setup by slicing the internal curve at its start	Float
Slice End	Masks the scatter setup by slicing the internal curve at its ends	Float

Rotation Properties

Name	Description	Type
Look at Mode	Control the direction of each object	Dropdown
Look at Objects	Objects to point the scattered objects at in LOOK AT mode. If no objects are given NEXT is used.	Actor
Align to Curve	If turned on, orients along the normal of curve	Boolean
Rotation Jitter	Randomly jitters the rotation of each scattered object	Float
Rotation Space	Rotate objects in world or object space	Dropdown
X Rotation	Rotates the scattered objects along the X axis in the given space	Float
Y Rotation	Rotates the scattered objects along the Y axis in the given space	Float
Z Rotation	Rotates the scattered objects along the Z axis in the given space	Float
Twist Direction	Twists around this axis	Dropdown
Twist Rotation	Twists the scattered objects' rotations along the curve	Float

Position Override

Name	Description	Type
Randomize Override	If set to true, the override value will be used to randomize the position of the scattered objects	Boolean
X Override	Overrides the position along the X axis	Float
Y Override	Overrides the position along the Y axis	Float
Z Override	Overrides the position along the Z axis	Float

Proximity Mask

Name	Description	Type
Proximity	Proximity meshes ensure that only scattered objects nearby are kept	Actor
Distance	Controls the proximity distance	Float
Sampling	A higher value results in more precise proximity masking, but at a heavier cost (especially if your proximity objects are scatter instances)	Integer

Misc

Name	Description	Type
Receive decals	If set to true, instances receive decals	Boolean
Enable collision	If True - collision is set to "Enabled (Query and Physics)", if False - "NoCollision"	Boolean
