Blueprint nodes

Every node Blendable FX adds, in the Blendable FX category: playing transitions, impacts and overlays, placing them in the world, the handshake underneath, every camera cut, driving effects from the game, night vision, the look browser, and the FX Volume's own.

Each node in the library takes the Player controller whose view it plays over. The rest are on the player's own Blendable FX, from Get Blendable FX, and do the same for that player.

Transitions#

Node	What it does
Play Transition	Covers the screen with Transition, fires Covered (change the shot there), then reveals and fires Finished. With no transition, Covered and Finished fire at once.
Set View Target With Transition	Covers, switches the player's view to New View Target underneath, and reveals it. A sound bridge on the transition moves the listener early or late.
Open Level With Transition	Covers, opens Level once it's covered, and reveals the new level when it has loaded. With no transition, opens it at once.
Is Playing Transition	Whether a transition is on its way for this player.
Get Cover Amount	How covered this player's screen is by a transition, 0 to 1.

Impacts and overlays#

Node	What it does
Play Impact	Plays Effect once over the player's view: in over its Cover Time, held for its Hold Time and gone over its Reveal Time, as far as Amount. A blend plays through from the picture it struck on to the live one. Returns its handle.
Play Impact At	The same, struck at a point in the world, for an effect centred Where It's Played: the centre stays on that point as the camera moves.
Play Impact On	The same, struck on Target (at Socket, if it names one), followed as it moves.
Show Overlay	Shows Effect as an overlay: in over its Cover Time, held until it's hidden (or for For seconds), gone over its Reveal Time. Amount below 0 uses the effect's Overlay Amount. Returns a handle to hide it with.
Hide Overlay	Lets an overlay or an impact go over its Reveal Time, or takes it off at once.
Hide All Overlays	Lets every overlay and impact go, or takes them all off at once.
Play Impact From	Strikes from a point in the world, such as where a shot came from: the effect faces it round the player's view, as a damage marker does (ahead at the top, behind at the bottom), and an effect centred Where It's Played sits on the edge facing it.
Aim Effect From	Turns an impact or overlay already playing to face a point in the world, as Play Impact From does.
Place Effect At	Centres an impact or overlay on a point in the world, for an effect centred Where It's Played.
Place Effect On	Centres an impact or overlay on Target (at Socket, if it names one), followed as it moves.
Is Effect Playing	Whether an impact or overlay is still on screen.
Set Effect Amount	Changes how far an overlay or an impact holds, 0 to 1, from now on: one held moves there, one still coming in comes in to it.
Get Effect Amount	How far an impact or overlay has got, 0 to 1. On the player's Blendable FX.

Driven#

In the Driven category. Overlays walks through drivers.

Node	What it does
Drive Effect	Has a number from the game drive an impact or overlay already playing, as an effect's own Drivers do. Your Own Object is where it reads when the driver's From is Your Own Object.
Stop Driving Effect	Stops every driver on it, its effect's own as well, leaving it where they had it.
Set Playing Effect Setting	Sets one of a playing effect's settings, Strength or any of its look's own, on its own copy so the asset is untouched. False when it isn't playing or has no such setting.

Cancel Transition	Backs out: uncovers the same shot without a cut.
Is Transition Finished	True once it has finished, been cancelled out, or been replaced by another.
Should Hear The New Shot	For a sound bridge: true once the listener should move to the new shot, early for a J cut or late for an L cut.
On Covered	Fires once the old shot is covered and the change can happen.
On Finished	Fires once a transition has finished revealing, or been cancelled out or replaced.

Every camera cut#

Node	What it does
Set Transition For Every Camera Cut	Plays Transition on every camera cut nothing else has transitioned, for this player, in place of the project's. None turns it off for them. Keep The Last Frame gives a blend the frame from before the cut.
Use The Project's Transition For Every Camera Cut	Goes back to the project's setting for this player.
Get Transition For Every Camera Cut	The transition this player plays on every camera cut, or none.

A mask's breath#

Breathe With Sound	Has it breathe with a sound's loudness, times Gain: the fog follows, and its breath events fire as it rises and falls.

On Breath Out	Fires as a worn mask breathes out, whatever sets its breath. On the player's Blendable FX.
