Howdy. New dev here. To briefly explain what I’m attempting to do I am currently working on a first person baseball game and I’ve been trying to get pick up the ball to work correctly. So the way i have it set up is when the player overlap with the collision of the ball it destroys the actor. I was going to have it change an integer on the player to allow it to throw the ball again. basically imagine it a a gun with one bullet you have to pick up after you fire it. Here’s an image of the code I’m using.
The problem i have is that when i turn on the projective movement component it doesn’t work. like it just wont allow the player to overlap with it. Am i missing something? I essentially glued these blueprints onto the default projectile given in the fps example project. please help if you can.
You’ll need a custom collision for this to work correctly and easily.
Project settings → Engine → Collision
Add a Object Channel. Name it Baseball, Default BLOCK.
Baseball class…
Root actor must be a sphere collision.
Scale the root component to meet the radius of the ball mesh.
Set the collision to Simulate HIT EVENTS. Uncheck Overlap events.
Character step on: No
Preset: Custom Collision
Collision enabled: Query Only
Type: Baseball
Tick the Ignore all flag, then manually Block the base channels and Baseball.
this isn’t working for me. it probably because i don’t have a glove actor. i just want it to react to the collision Component on the fps character. Thanks so much for your help though
