How to hit the trace on the back side of the mesh?

[3dRaven]

If the object is rather uniform (for instance a wall without any ornaments) then you could get it’s locally aligned bounding box and get the dimensions from there

I’m using C++ and trying to do a sphere trace after an arbitrarily-sized projectile hits its target, in order to find the projectile’s entry point. For the sphere trace, I must know the radius of the projectile, which is dynamic and can be a rock, an arrow, etc. I’ve read about bounding boxes, and used GetActorBounds and other ways to get the bounds of the projectile, including getting an FBox struct from the mesh’s “Bounds” attribute, but bounds seem to be axis-aligned in all cases (AABB), whi…

Edit: Did an extra trace on specific hit component with a flipped impact normal at a set distance as an offset along the normal’s direction.
