What is it?

Pro Scatter is an advanced object scattering tool within the Pro Level Toolkit (PLT), designed to simplify environment creation in Unreal Engine. With its smart placement system, you can efficiently distribute assets like props, foliage, and debris across your scene while maintaining artistic control.

Also offers customizable settings for density, alignment, and randomness, ensuring natural and dynamic results. Additionally, it includes physics-based placement, allowing objects to settle realistically on surfaces, adapting to slopes and collisions for an authentic, hand-placed look.

Modes

Single Object Mode: This mode is the simplest, it uses the props array and will select only the one indicated in the “Select Prop Index” variable and that will be the one used to spawn.

Multiple Object Mode: This mode will choose absolutely all the props in the array and will select a random one every time you spawn one.

Tool Settings

• Merge Props: Merge the props you have spawned into the environment automatically, this option does not work for those with physical props.
• Simulate Physics: When you press this option the game will play in simulation mode to make the physics work.
• Remove Latest Object: Remove the last prop you have placed on the environment.
• Use Physics: With this you will be able to activate/deactivate the physics for the objects you spawn.
• Prop Scale: Choose the scale for your prop, if you want it to be a fixed scale leave the 2 values the same, if you want it to be random choose 2 different values so that a random scale is selected from the values set.
• Prop Rotation: Choose the rotation for your prop, if you want it to be a fixed rotation leave the 2 values the same, if you want it to be random choose 2 different values so that a random rotation is selected from the set values.
• Select Prop Index: Select the prop you want to use from the array and that will be the one used for spawning, this will only work for "Single Object Mode".

Physics

Activate the “Use Physics?” variable so that every new object you spawn has physics activated and thus has a more natural position.
