I'm trying to make a simulation of many sphere-shaped cells that swim around and squish into each other, with each sphere being a Softbody actor in a single Solver. Ideally I'd like to be able to change the size of a single cell during runtime, for instance if one eats a food particle it will bump up in size slightly. The bigger cell would push other cells out of the way as it takes up more space.
I did see one other post on the forum saying that scaling the actors is not possible, but I'm wondering if there's any potential workarounds? I figured that spheres are a lot simpler than a detailed mesh, so it could be possible to achieve the same effect somehow through a force, constraint value, modifying blueprint, etc., but I'm not familiar enough with the plugin yet to know what to try.
Does anyone know how to achieve something like this, or have any ideas for things to try out? Or is this not possible? Thanks!
