Gauge Settings

Every skill check is described by a Gauge Settings struct. The component holds a Default Gauge Settings that is used as the base for each check, and you can override it per check (see Triggering & Flow).

All zone and angle values are normalized 0 to 1, where 1 is one full trip around the dial.

Gauge

Property	Default	Range	What it does
Gauge Speed	0.8	0.1 to 5.0	Rotation speed in full rotations per second.
Max Full Rotations	1	-1 or more	How many full laps the gauge may travel before an unanswered check auto-fails. Set to -1 for an infinite gauge that never times out (it then relies only on Attempt Skill Check).
Speed Up After Rotation	false	on / off	Speed the gauge up after each completed lap. Only applies when Max Full Rotations is greater than 1.
Speed Up Multiplier	1.2	1.0 to 3.0	Speed multiplier compounded per completed lap: speed = Gauge Speed * (multiplier ^ completed laps). Needs Speed Up After Rotation.
Gauge Direction	Always Clockwise	enum	Direction the gauge sweeps: Always Clockwise, Always Counter-Clockwise, Alternating (flips each check), or Random.

Zones

Property	Default	Range	What it does
Good Zone Size	0.15	0.01 to 0.5	Width of the good (normal success) zone as a fraction of the dial.
Great Zone Size	0.035	0.005 to 0.25	Width of the great (perfect) zone. It sits inside the good zone, at a random offset.
Gauge Start Distance	0.2	0.05 to 0.5	How far before the zone the gauge starts, giving the player reaction time.
Gauge Start Distance Variance	0.4	0.0 to 0.5	Random extra lead-in added on top of Gauge Start Distance, so the run-up varies. Final distance = Gauge Start Distance + Random(0, variance).

Note

Zone positions are re-randomized every check. The good zone lands somewhere on the dial, and the great zone lands somewhere inside the good zone, so a perfect hit is always also within good range.

Position

Property	Default	What it does
Position Mode	Fixed Position	Fixed Position uses the layout baked into the widget (centered by default). Random Position scatters the gauge around the screen each check.
Random Position Margins	(0.15, 0.15, 0.15, 0.25)	Keep-out margins from the screen edges, normalized: X left, Y top, Z right, W bottom. Used only in Random Position mode.

Caution

Random Position needs the widget’s SizeBox_Container to sit inside a Canvas Panel. See Customizing the Widget.

Sound

Property	Default	Range	What it does
Skill Check Sound	none	-	A warning sound played before the gauge appears.
Skill Check Sound Delay	0.4	0.0 to 2.0	Seconds between the warning sound and the gauge appearing, so the player gets an audio “get ready”.
Good Success Sound	none	-	Plays on a good hit.
Great Success Sound	none	-	Plays on a great hit.
Failure Sound	none	-	Plays on a miss (wrong spot or timeout).

Note

The ready-made BP_RadialSkillCheck component ships with example sounds (SW_Check_warning, SW_Success, SW_Fail) already assigned, so you get audio feedback out of the box. These success and failure sounds play automatically on each outcome, separate from any events you bind.
