I need help with selecting different components inside my Actor Blueprint(Door BP) in order to have more individual control over each movement animation animation.
I made a basic interaction system inside a Blueprint. I have created a basic line Trace Chanel interaction system that shoots a line trace trace from the camera(FPS). That then is connected to an Interaction Interface (On Interact)
My question is, how can i select/break out each component(Door Handle and Door) inside the Door Blueprint and connect them to the Event on Interact node and then to their respective animation?
As of now for some reason Unreal registers the two different mesh components with the same collision, and I would like somehow to differentiate between the two collisions. As i want the line trace to play a different animation depending if it hits the Door or the Handle.
Hi, so you almost have everything you need now. Like I say, just add a parameter to the BP interface message. It works like this, here the ‘back end’ of my line trace macro:
There’s the line trace macro at the start, it just makes it easier to see what’s going on. Notice I have two BP interface calls. One is bottom left, the actual click, and the other, a mouse over thing, top right. They are both just messages to the blueprint I am currently interacting with.
In the blueprint interface definition, I have this:
Normally, there’s nothing here apart from the name of the interface. But you can also have parameters, like I have done. Finally, here’s the even happening inside a target BP:
I just called my BP interface message ‘is clicked’, hence this.
Do you get it now?
( notice, the whole point of this is I’m also passing the clicked component name through the whole process ).
