# Simple Tab

The Simple Tab is a simplified version of the tool with less options to generate a waterfall quickly.

### Buttons

* **Generate Paths**: Simulate particle paths to act as a guide or generating the waterfall meshes.
* **Clear Paths**: Delete all of the simulated paths. *Note: This also resets the dynamic meshes and FX.*
* **Generate Meshes**: Generate the dynamic mesh and material data for the waterfall.
* **Clear Meshes**: Clear all of the dynamic mesh and material data.
* **Generate VFX**: Create the global Niagara Systems and add the waterfall data to the particles.
* **Bake to Static Mesh**: Generate a Static Mesh asset from the dynamic meshes and assign it to the Static Mesh component of the waterall.

### Properties

* Path Settings
  * **Select Top Spline Points**: Select spline points in Top Spline. *Note: This is hidden in 5.4 because spline selection is broken in 5.4.*
  * **Num Paths**: The number of paths to generate along the spline.
  * **Spawn Jitter Range**: Affects the initial direction of the path by adding a randomised jitter to the yaw in this range.
  * **Path Spawn Range**: If more than one path is required to spawn, this will confine the spawning to a range from the end. Eg, If the spline distance is 100 and the PathSpawnRange is set to (0.2, 0.8), then the paths will only spawn between distances 20-80 and none will spawn on the distance < 20 or > 80.
  * **Gravity**: Particle simulation gravity.
  * **Num Spline Points**: If on, after the path is generated, it will resample the path to exactly this many spline points.
  * **Kill Plane Location**: The X-Y values are purely cosmetic. The Z value affects where the waterfall paths will end.
  * **Seed**: Random seed for the generation of the waterfall.
  * **Ignore Actors**: Actors to ignore for collision detection and physics.
* Mesh Generation Settings
  * **Single**: Should the Single mesh be generated?
  * **Paths**: Should the Per Path meshes be generated?
  * **Splash**: Should the Splash mesh be generated?
  * **Planes**: Should the Plane meshes be generated?
* SFX
  * **Top SFX**: The audio asset to be played at the top of the waterfall.
  * **Middle SFX**: The audio asset to be played at the middle of the waterfall.
  * **Bottom SFX**: The audio asset to be played at the bottom of the waterfall.
* VFX Settings
  * **Top VFX**: Should the top VFX be generated?
  * **Middle VFX**: Should the middle VFX be generated?
  * **Bottom VFX**: Should the bottom VFX be generated?

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shadersource.io/assets-and-plugins/waterfall-tool-2/how-to-use/waterfall-tool-2-editor-mode/simple-tab.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
