How do I find the nearest spline and only follow that one?

[Turts.p]

In my BP I have it so when I press E (Boolean is set to true when overlapping a box component and false when overlap ends) my character follows a spline. This mostly works fine, but when there is more than one of the actors that contains the spline my character follows a random spline instead of only the one next to it. Is there a way to have the actor only detect the nearest spline and follow that one?

Hey @Turts.p!

Check out this thread that appears to have the solution you are looking for:

How to inquiry the nearest actor?

theres probably a better way to go about it depending on your circumstance, such as overlap events or line traces which would be easy to implement and possibly more optimal. but to give a brief overview of what you asked for. you would first need a get all actors with tag node, this should return an array which contains all actors that have the tag your looking for. you then need to parse this array to find out which actor is closest. to do this you need to use a foreachloop which gets the dis…

Let me know if the above works for you!

This solved my problem, along with moving the spline follow into the spline BP. Thank you.
