How to make actor detect closest player, and save it in variable? (function), please help.

  1. Find all actors of class
  2. For loop these and do:
  • calculate distance (I believe this is a node) between the two actors
  • Check if this distance is closer than the saved distance
  • Save this distance AND the actor if closer

You’ll need:

  1. A distance (float) variable
  2. Prob an actor variable or whatever type you’re distancing to

Hello Zedory,

This was asked recently and there was a really nice blueprint graph that was given in a response. It’s basically what Evie Games described, where you overwrite the reference ONLY if the distance is closer.
