I’m confused by the Trace test documentation in EQS.
It states the following:
The Trace Test will trace to (or from) an Item or Context and return if it hit it or not something.
What does “if it hit or not something” mean? If I set hit to be required, is that a hit between querier and the context target or is that something between them?
Hey there @PushStartInteractive! I believe the EQS trace is mostly to determine if anything is in the way of the trace at all collision wise based on it’s collision trace settings, then returns as a boolean if it collided with anything matching the description.
So, just to clarify – it’s not if anything is hit. It’s only if a specific context thing is hit?
From what I understand, it’s anything meeting the criteria for the trace, so if you set it for visibility, anything hitting the visibility channel will trigger it. I’d go ahead and setup the trace in and run the query in context to see it in action if you’ve already gotten the basics of the EQS system in place. It’s most often used as a Line of Sight check.
Gotcha. Thanks a lot for following up on this – much appreciated.
