How do I stop projectiles from going through walls when to close?

[Aakburns]

I made a quick video of the issue. I have to assume it’s either an issue with the character blueprint or the projectile itself. I’d like to just hit the wall I’m up against if I’m right up to it.

Thanks.

Projectile through wall when to close.

Trace from a location that is further back; you’re probably using a socket on the gun barrel, and the trace starts either inside or on the other side of the wall.

Does it help to see this?

Does it help to see this?

It demonstrates precisely what I mentioned above. If you want to use this comp as a starting point for tracing, ensure it’s inside the capsule. Or use math to start tracing closer to the player.

Can you please elaborate further on this… like I’ve never had to deal with this issue.

How can we without knowing how you trace? Assuming you use this sphere to start the trace:

Move it close to the mesh so it does not poke through the wall when you start tracing.

I’ve tried moving that further back, the way it is now, I’d have to have it behind the camera to not go through the wall. Of course it’s spawning behind the player then.

The trace is done in the projectile blueprint.
