UCharacterMovementComponent::StandingDownwardForceScale

property Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/CharacterMovementComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UPROPERTYEditAnywhereBlueprintReadWrite

Description

Multiplier applied to the downward force this character exerts on physics objects it stands on, derived from the character's Mass and gravity.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Has no effect unless bEnablePhysicsInteraction is enabled.
• A value of 0 means standing on a physics object applies no weight at all, which can look wrong for objects meant to sink or tip under the character's weight.
• This is separate from PushForceFactor, which governs lateral impacts rather than standing weight.

Signature

float StandingDownwardForceScale;

Example

Make standing weight noticeable on physics props C++

if (UCharacterMovementComponent* MoveComp = GetCharacterMovement())
{
	MoveComp->bEnablePhysicsInteraction = true;
	MoveComp->StandingDownwardForceScale = 1.0f;
}
