I’m looking for a good way for my character to get into cover.
Basically I have a box collision that
if the player is on the edge of the
box collision when i press the cover
button the player will get into
cover.
Unfortunately the player will fall
short of the desired location of the
cover, so I need they character to
run up to the cover then when it hits
the the cover such as a wall, the
character will play the animation to
get into cover.
If I understand correctly, you’re saying that when you press the cover button, the a sphere trace will be fired from the character, that trace will hit a bit of cover and that will give you the distance to the cover. So by getting the distance of your location and to the cover you can set some nodes to move the character to the location. Then when close enough to the location, set a bool to switch the animations?
rather than distance to cover, the trace gives the closest location you could stand in, right in front of the cover. you should switch the bool as soon as the trace detects cover. and after the first trace, you may need a few more traces to determine what kind of cover is in front of you, because vertical cover will probably have a different animation than chest high walls.
