Sphere

Base:

UBlueprintFunctionLibrary

Type:

UNSpherePickerLibrary / FNSpherePicker

Header File:

NexusActorPools/Public/NSpherePickerLibrary.h

Provides various functions for generating points [i]nside or [o]n the surface of a sphere using different random generation strategies (deterministic, non-deterministic, seeded).

The UNSpherePickerLibrary wraps the native FNSpherePicker functionality in a Blueprint friendly manner. Should you be wanting to utilize a picker in native code it is best to directly reference FNSpherePicker directly to avoid the abstraction layer as it has a similar API.

Methods

Next Point

Generates a deterministic point inside or on the surface of a sphere.

info

Uses FNRandom::Deterministic to ensure reproducible results.

Random Point

Generates a random point inside or on the surface of a sphere.

info

Uses FNRandom::NonDeterministic to produce pseudo-random results.

One-Shot Point

Generates a random point inside or on the surface of a sphere using a provided seed.

Tracked Point

Generates a random point inside or on the surface of a sphere while tracking the random seed state.
