Detailed Description

Overrides the local transform of a bone in a skeletal animation.

Every time a new animation pose is prepared, this component replaces the transform of the chosen bone to be the same as the local transform of the owner game object.

That allows you to do a simple kind of forward kinematics. For example it can be used to modify a targeting bone, so that an animated object points into the right direction.

The global transform of the game object is irrelevant, but the local transform is used to copy over.

◆ DeserializeComponent()

void ezJointOverrideComponent::DeserializeComponent ( ezWorldReader inout_stream)
overridevirtual

Override this to load the current state of the component from the given stream.

The active state will be automatically serialized. The 'initialized' state is not serialized, all components will be initialized after creation, even if they were already in an initialized state when they were serialized.

Reimplemented from ezComponent.
