hello,  
There is a first person shooter standing on a procedural mesh floor in the scene. There is a single blueprint to generate the mesh, and another blueprint to control the character. I want the character to deform the **procedural mesh** at the point it aims at. So I used the **rayTraceByChannel** function and also connected **breakHitResult** function. Now I need this function to return the reference of the **procedural mesh** whenever ray trace hits it.

I couldn’t figure out how to extract the hit informaiton about the procedural mesh via **hit Actor** node of breakHitResult.  
So in short, I need to make the connection in the image below, but the nodes dont match and it gives error.

And this is the blueprint I used to generate mesh floor.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @ege19ege , you have to cast from the pin “hit **COMPONENT** ” in the break hit result node to procedural mesh component, then you can connect it to the node “get section from procedural mesh”

Greetings
