Ragdoll death: disable movement, enable physics on mesh

Pattern: custom OnDeath event → GetCharacterMovement → DisableMovement() → GetMesh → SetSimulatePhysics(bSimulate=true) → SetCollisionEnabled(NoCollision) on CapsuleComponent. Key: SetSimulatePhysics is called on the MESH component (SkeletalMeshComponent), NOT on the actor or CharacterMovementComponent. Also set collision profile: SetCollisionProfileName('Ragdoll') on the mesh.

Enable physics ragdoll and apply explosion impulse

Pattern: OnDeath → GetMesh → SetSimulatePhysics(bSimulate=true) → AddImpulse(Impulse=MakeVector(X=0,Y=0,Z=500), bVelChange=true). For explosion: GetMesh → AddRadialImpulse(Origin=ExplosionLocation, Radius=500, Strength=1000, Falloff=RIF_Linear, bVelChange=false). Key: Always call SetSimulatePhysics BEFORE AddImpulse. AddImpulse input 'bVelChange=true' for direct velocity (ignores mass). AddRadialImpulse is on PrimitiveComponent.

PlayMontage — play an AnimMontage on a SkeletalMeshComponent

Call on the SkeletalMeshComponent. Get it via GetMesh() on Character. Returns montage length. Exec out is 'then'.

PlayAnimation on widget — play UMG widget animation

Texture2D

A 2D image asset used by Materials (color, normal, roughness maps) or UMG Images.

BooleanAND — logical AND

OR=BooleanOR, NOT=Not_PreBool, XOR=BooleanXOR

Camera shake on damage feedback for player

Pattern: On EventAnyDamage → GetPlayerController(0) → GetPlayerCameraManager → StartCameraShake(DamageShakeClass, MapRangeClamped(Damage, 0, 100, 0.3, 1.0)). Create CameraShakeClass as BP extending UCameraShakeBase with RotOscillation and LocOscillation settings.
