Today I implemented a simple battery system. It has a status indicator in the top right corner. It has a configurable rate of depletion and automatically turns the engine off when it runs out of power.
First I create a BPC_Drone_Battery
component. It has an event DrainTick
called every TickEvery
amount of time and calls a Drain Charge
function.
Drain Charge
function simply takes Drain Per Tick
away from a total charge and calls Update Charge
. It does nothing when the battery is off.
Update Charge
updates the Charge
variable and calls events: Battery Charge Changed
or when it drops to zero Battery Charge Depleted
.
