Hey all,
(This is all in the context of working with the vive but that is not too relevant)
I’m in the process of making a minimap that the player can point at and click to teleport to a location in the level.
The way i’m attempting to do this is by spawning a square on the back of the controller that the user can point at, pull the trigger and then teleport to the corresponding location. I get the trace location, compare that to the local bounds of the square to find the vector from one corner (the max bound) to the trace location to get a location vector. I then compare the max bounds of the square to the floor of the level (also a big square) to find a “scaling factor”. Finally I take the location vector off of the floor max bounds to find the location in the level to teleport to.
I believe this should work, however, the local bounds of the floor mesh and the minimap mesh are not returned properly. Both meshes are a component of a blueprint actor and are based on a simple cube. The max local bounds are returned as 50,50,50 for the minimap and 0,0,0 for the floor despite the scale used. What am I missing here? Is there a different node I should use?
Thanks in advance.
