I set up the player Blueprint to change a Boolean variable “In Light” based on how close the player is to a point light. Here is my setup in the player blueprint-
Even though the Boolean is getting changed based on the distance (the change prints up on screen), the AI bot reacts according to the default setting of the Boolean. Meaning, if the default is set to ‘true’, the AI bot can see the player, if its set to ‘false’, the AI bot cannot.
When I set this boolean with a trigger volume, it worked fine- the player overlap with the volume would change the player’s “In Light” Boolean to ‘false’ and the enemy Bot would ignore the player. Out of the volume and the Bot would react to the player. So I don’t think it is the Behavior tree of the AI bot.
Hm just a comment to the idea of shadow and visible:
With your current setup, the player could be seperated from the light with a wall in between (so no light touches him) but he would be still in range to the PointLight and marked as visible.
Just something that cam to my mind. Nothing to do with your problem though sorry.
