Hi, I’m using a line trace from the player character to check for any items I can interact with, using an interface. Should I just rely on the item mesh for the collision, or should I attach a collision component to it? Bear in mind need to simulate physics on the items too, and that requires colli…

Yea, you can change your logic around a bit to make it work. For example: Check if the box is a child of “cant interact with” parent Check the box ref against a list of intractable components Extend physical materials to hold “intractable” property (they already hold Damage Multiplier) To be fair…

Benefits of using collision component over just mesh component?
