Short and simple snippet used for deflecting objects or players off a surface.

Short and simple snippet used for deflecting objects or players off a surface. Example: a ball hitting a wall, or a rolling player hitting a bumper.

Where it says KnockBackStregnth and DeflectForceLimit, those are variables you define in DefaultProperties.

DO NOT set DeflectForceLimit too high or the player or object WILL BE SENT OUT OF BOUNDS! Recommended values for DeflectForceLimit is 1500, and the recommended KnockBackStregnth is 2.
