# Recoil Settings All settings are located in the **Recoil Data** asset (to create one, right-click and go **Miscellaneous -> Data Asset -> Recoil Data**). This asset contains many sections, and we will cover them one by one. ## Controller Recoil

* **Horizontal Recoil Step**: a value will be computed in this range and added to the controller Yaw. * **Vertical Recoil Step**: a value will be computed in this range and added to the controller Pitch. * **Recoil Smoothing**: interpolation speed for X (Yaw) and Y (Pitch). * **Damping**: how fast the both Pitch and Yaw will go to zero, * **Compensation**: how much player input to take into account. 1 - 100%, 0 - 0%. **Controller Recoil** is added directly to the **Player Controller** using *AddPitchInput* and *AddYawInput* methods. ## Curve This section contains curves that we covered in the previous chapter:

Vector curves for translation and rotation,

## Input These properties generate main target recoil values:

* **Pitch/Yaw/Roll Aim**: a value will be generated in this range and added to the pitch/yaw/roll when aiming. * **Pitch/Yaw/Roll**: a value will be generated in this range and added to the pitch/yaw/roll when hip firing. * **Kick/Kick R/ Kick Up Aim**: a value will be generated in this range and added in the forward/right/up direction when aiming. * **Kick/Kick R/ Kick Up**: a value will be generated in this range and added in the forward/right/up direction when aiming. It's worth noting how the random generation happens in runtime: * For 2D vectors, it will compute a value via FRandRange(X, Y) * For 4D vectors, it will compute a value via FRandRange(FRandRange(X, Y), FRandRange(Z, W)). We do it this way to avoid getting close-to-zero values, which sometimes look horrible. ## Smoothing This group is only applied when auto/burst firing.

* **Smooth Rot/Loc**: interpolation speed for a rotation/translation axis. If the value is zero - no interpolation will be applied. * **Multi Rot/Loc**: multipliers for a rotation/translation axis. * **Smooth Roll**: if roll sign should change every shot. Keep it true to achieve the best results. ## Noise Layer This layer applies translation 2D noise in the YZ plane (right and up movement).

* **Noise 2DTarget**: this value will be added to the translation of every shot. * **Noise 2DAccel**: interpolation speed for right and up axes. * **Noise 2DZero**: how fast each axis will go to zero. * **Noise Aim Scalar**: multiplier applied when aiming. ## Pushback This layer is applied on the second shot of a burst or auto sequence.

* **Pushback**: this value will be added to the forward translation. * **Pushback Zero**: how fast the pushback should go to zero. * **Pushback Accel**: pusback interpolation speed. ## Recoil Sway This layer applies sway to simulate a body recoil.

* **Pitch Sway**: a value will be randomly generated in this range and added to the pitch. * **Yaw Sway**: a value will be randomly generated in this range and added to the yaw. * **Roll Sway Multiplier**: will multiply the yaw result by this value and add it to the roll. * **Damping**: how fast the sway should go to zero. * **Acceleration**: interpolation sway speed. * **Ads Scale**: this value will scale the recoil sway when aiming. * **Pivot Offset**: will offset the recoil physical pivot. ## Timeline These properties control the general animation timeline.

* **Playback Offset**: will offset the loop time interval. For example, if a weapon fire rate is 600RPM, the loop interval will be 0.1s + Playback Offset. * **Play Rate**: animation speed multiplier. ## Pivot This section controls the physical recoil pivot point.

* **Pivot Offset**: applied when hip firing. * **Ads Pivot Offset**: applied when aiming. {% hint style="success" %} **Tip**: pivot offsets can be useful when we want to apply recoil rotation around a certain point, like a shoulder. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
