Get Fort Character

One step on this black basalt vent and your pirate is blasting straight up into the sunny island sky, all thanks to a hidden trigger device.

Bridging the gap between a generic agent and the physics-ready fort_character interface requires a safe failable check.

We subscribe to the trigger device, unwrap the optional agent, then chain a second failable check to get the fort_character before calling ApplyLinearImpulse.

Reach for GetFortCharacter whenever you need to apply physics, read velocity, or check a player's physical state in your game.
