Verse

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create Blank Project.
  2. Activate scene graph beta on project settings.
  3. Add an empty entity.

This next steps are necessary to avoid another bug that with mesh_components of basic shapes from UEFN deactivating the collision check from it, keeps colliding.

  1. Create a cube with modeling tools.
  2. Add collisions to static mesh and set collision to overlap all
  3. Add new mesh created to entity.
  4. Uncheck Collidable option from it.
  5. Add and script to debug this collisions in my case volume_component
  6. Test in a Session

Expected Result

Entity cast to succeed being a player or agent

Observed Result

Entity cast fails for both agent and player

Platform(s)

UEFN, PC
