How can I do a line trace outwards from a characters head in all directions creating a perfect sphere of line traces? Please show with blueprint example and explain like I’m 5, thank you!

Yup, I tested it versus the actor location and the scene component is working correctly

Sweet! Alright, so now I have prepared this 3D version of the flat single triangle polygon the guy had in the tutorial for the Instanced static mesh he uses for the procedural mesh in the line of sight mask creation. If you could please help me convert what he did in the tutorial with the 3D version…

Basically, fire this pyramid with every trace as a procedural mesh which is blocked/truncated by the hits thus creating the scene component mask of the collisions. Essentially reverse engineer his method but for our purpose…

It’s probably best to re-post that as a new question :wink:

Fair enough :slightly_smiling_face:

Man - this is going to take you MONTHS! How do you envisage is working in 3D?

haha something to look forward to I guess… if it works out the way I’m thinking. I don’t think I understand your question though

Well. The postprocess is black where the player can’t see. So the player always must be able to see the camera, otherwise the camera just sees black. I think it could work in 3D. It’s gonna be a bit of a mare though. The render target will also suck frames… Be interested to see how it goes…

Well the structures in the way will be culled/masked away (along with, where the vision sphere leaks into), and characters back will always be to the camera as it turns so lets see if the final version actually feels right or just a mess lol So how would you modify his use of the instanced mesh wit…
