This plugin provides a suite of tools for generating random and deterministic points within various geometric shapes and along splines.

  • Multiple Shape Types: Generate points across a wide variety of shapes and specialized components.
  • NavMesh Projection: Points can be projected to the nearest NavMesh.
  • Various Strategies: Different number generating strategies allowing for developers to define their own "random".
  • Blueprint Integration: Full Blueprint support through mirrored function definitions.

Essentially solving the common game development problem of "how do I randomly but intelligently place things in my world" with a comprehensive, performance-oriented solution.
