Detailed Description

Base class for all animation graph pins, representing typed connections between nodes.

Pins are the connection points on nodes that allow data to flow through the graph. Each pin has a type (trigger, number, bool, pose, etc.) and can be either an input or output. Pins are connected in the graph editor to define data flow.

Pin Indices

During graph preparation, each pin is assigned an index (m_iPinIndex) that identifies its storage location in the instance data arrays. Unconnected pins have index -1 and return default values.

Data Flow

Output pins write values to the instance's pin state arrays, input pins read from those arrays. The mapping from output pin indices to input pin indices is pre-computed during PrepareForUse().

Pin Types

• Trigger: One-shot events (animation finished, state entered)
• Number: Floating-point values for blend weights, speeds, parameters
• Bool: Boolean flags and conditions
• BoneWeights: Masks controlling which bones are affected by animations
• LocalPose: Bone transforms in local space (parent-relative)
• ModelPose: Bone transforms in model space (skeleton root-relative)

Member Enumeration Documentation

Type

enum ezAnimGraphPin::Type : ezUInt8

Enumerator
Trigger	One-shot events that occur for a single frame.

Member Function Documentation

IsConnected()

bool ezAnimGraphPin::IsConnected ( ) const

inline

Returns whether this pin is connected to another pin.

Unconnected pins have index -1 and return default values when queried.
