In C++/DX there is a collision command that can give the face that was collided against. This can be used to calculate the reflection vector of the colliding object. I there a simple way to do that in DBP?

The fastest code is the code never written.

With Sparky's collision DLL, you can check the normal vector of a collided polygon but also the bounce vector, very handy stuff. You should have a look at that.

It's free and available from >here<

Thanks. I was really wanting to do as much of the engine myself, but if there's no practical way to do it with pure DBP, then I'll try Sparky's.

Here's an example that uses bouncing collision with Sparky's dll :
