UCharacterMovementComponent::Buoyancy

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereBlueprintReadWrite

Description

Ratio controlling how much a character floats while swimming. 1.0 is neutral buoyancy and 0.0 means no buoyancy at all.

• Only affects vertical movement while MovementMode is MOVE_Swimming.
• A value below 1.0 causes the character to sink even without downward input, which is useful for characters meant to swim near the bottom.
• Values above 1.0 make the character float upward, which combined with JumpOutOfWaterPitch can cause characters to pop out of water unexpectedly.

float Buoyancy;

Make a character sink slowly C++

if (UCharacterMovementComponent* MoveComp = GetCharacterMovement())
{
	MoveComp->Buoyancy = 0.9f;
}

Introduced in: 4.0
