Setting up Damage Types for the Foliage Plugin​

If you haven't setup the Foliage Plugin yet, follow this tutorial first.

Create a new Blueprint Class based on the DamageType​

Set the new Damage Type required in your Foliage DataTable​

When Applying damage to your Foliage, specify the new Damage Type​

All done, if the incorrect damage type is applied, you will not be able to interact with the Foliage​
