ImpactDataSet

Impact Data Sets are assigned to objects such as weapons to establish how they interact with the environment. For example, a rifle's projectile visually interacts the environment by placing a decal on that object at the point of impact, placing a small smoke FX in the world there, and playing a chipping stone sound. The material type of the damaged object determines which Impact Data object is used. The Impact Data object contains the full description of the decal, the placed art, and any sound it might make.
