PSUnreal Fishing Setup

To create a fishable river do this:

1. Create a river by dropping this actor in the level: RiverSplineActor (new) or SM_Water_Plane_Blueprint (a bit older, but the same)
2. Set the mesh in the properties of the new actor you added to one of the water planes, example SM_Water_Plane
3. The mesh should have simple collision visibile in the editor

To create a fishable lake (mesh based) do this:

1. Add a static mesh actor to the level (or use BP_LakeWater)
2. Ensure the static mesh is set to Collision profile: PSWaterSurface
3. The mesh should have simple collision visibile in the editor

Then in both cases, river or lake:

1. In the database in the table natural_resources.trace_mesh put the name of the actor
2. Point to a group in natural_resources.item_group

Fishes need to be added to the dt_fishAnimation to associate the fish with the proper animation.

To fish, remember to equip your rod, and then right-click on the water surface.
