In my first-person game, I’m currently using a line trace so that the player can pick up objects in the scene. I’ve also got a widget that acts as a crosshair for picking up objects. Next, I would like to use a line trace so that the widget is only visible when the player is looking at an object. I’m having trouble with this step. Do you have any ideas? ![Screenshot 2024-09-26 153203](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/1/9/019d42b2c859d9d1a344362fe1b8fabfed8eb0d8.png) ![Screenshot 2024-09-26 153248](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/3/8/d/38d1dceeaf00a402fa26ca8a5ef7f0d486b6810c.png) ---

You can use the “Set Visibility” node for visibility and the “Set Opacity” node for opacity.
