Help to Recreate Astro Bot’s Foliage Interaction System Using Niagara?

[ancient imp]

I want to create a system like the one in Astro Bot, where the character interacts with the leaves and “pushes” them. I plan to use Niagara for this, as I believe it’s more optimized than static meshes and physics.

I’m new to this area; I’ve followed some tutorials and modified them to try and achieve this result, but I haven’t succeeded yet. Can someone help me?

Here’s the video of Astro Bot (26:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYyCrR2-V9I&t=1606s

This is the tutorial I followed (unfortunately, it’s only for members and one of the few I found): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dYYOe2S2bGM
