UGameplayStatics::SpawnForceFeedbackAttached

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.12

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Spawns a UForceFeedbackComponent attached to a scene component so vibration is routed based on the moving component's position relative to local players. Useful for weapon recoil or vehicle vibration that must follow an actor.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Like SpawnForceFeedbackAtLocation, this only affects local players — remote clients receive no feedback without a separate server-initiated call on their machine.
• If bLooping is true and bAutoDestroy is true, the component will never be auto-destroyed while looping; you must hold the reference and call DestroyComponent() yourself.
• bStopWhenAttachedToDestroyed defaults to false — a looping rumble can persist as an orphaned component after the parent actor is destroyed.

Signature

static ENGINE_API UForceFeedbackComponent* SpawnForceFeedbackAttached(UForceFeedbackEffect* ForceFeedbackEffect, USceneComponent* AttachToComponent, FName AttachPointName = NAME_None, FVector Location = FVector(ForceInit), FRotator Rotation = FRotator::ZeroRotator, EAttachLocation::Type LocationType = EAttachLocation::KeepRelativeOffset, bool bStopWhenAttachedToDestroyed = false, bool bLooping = false, float IntensityMultiplier = 1.f, float StartTime = 0.f, class UForceFeedbackAttenuation* AttenuationSettings = nullptr, bool bAutoDestroy = true)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
ForceFeedbackEffect	UForceFeedbackEffect*	The force feedback asset to play.	—
AttachToComponent	USceneComponent*	Component to attach the force feedback component to.	—
AttachPointName	FName	Optional socket or bone name to attach at.	NAME_None
Location	FVector	Location offset relative to the attach point.	FVector(ForceInit)
Rotation	FRotator	Rotation offset relative to the attach point.	FRotator::ZeroRotator
LocationType	EAttachLocation::Type	Whether Location is relative or world-space.	EAttachLocation::KeepRelativeOffset
bStopWhenAttachedToDestroyed	bool	Stop playback when the parent component is destroyed.	false
bLooping	bool	Whether the effect loops indefinitely.	false
IntensityMultiplier	float	Scalar multiplier applied to the effect intensity.	1.f
StartTime	float	Offset in seconds into the effect to begin playback.	0.f
AttenuationSettings	class UForceFeedbackAttenuation*	Optional attenuation settings to limit feedback by distance.	nullptr
bAutoDestroy	bool	Automatically destroy the component when playback ends.	true

Return Type

UForceFeedbackComponent*

Example

Attach continuous rumble to a vehicle chassis C++

RumbleComp = UGameplayStatics::SpawnForceFeedbackAttached(
	EngineRumbleEffect, GetRootComponent(),
	NAME_None, FVector::ZeroVector, FRotator::ZeroRotator,
	EAttachLocation::KeepRelativeOffset,
	true, true, 1.f, 0.f, nullptr, false);
