Hi, Is it possible to clamp a sphere trace with this setup? [image] What I want is for the player to only pickup objects that are infront of the player. The camera freely rotates when not moving so currently you can pick stuff up behind you, so is there a way to prevent the trace going behind th…

[image] This would work, with the benefit of having a max range that you can edit whenever. I set it to 0.25 and it gives me a nice quarter circle.

Does Vector 2D automatically ignore Z?

Interesting, very useful, thank you.

Not sure how well will my suggestion work if OP has a camera socket / target offset. Worst case scenario we can do a normal full trace, work with the resulting hit location and reject the undesired results.

How do you convert this pin to have 3 outputs? [image]

Break vector to output 3 separate floats. Make vector to input 3 separate floats. [Animation]

what about plugging the other vector in like the first graph, I don’t seem to have that option

Oh, I misunderstood your question. That is a subtract node, and as long as the pin is unplugged you can “Split struct pin” to separate it into its components (In the case of vector, it becomes 3 floats) [Animation2]

FYI, this only applies to left and right turning, to add vertical look, just make a third “in range” node for the Z float. and note, it will give you a hard edge box with a curved face (if that matters at all, you won’t feel the difference between that and a cone, and this is cheaper than cone math…

Thanks for all the suggestions, but I can’t seem to get it to work, I don’t get a sphere trace at all now, would could I be missing? [image]
