(How To) Trigger from line trace after overlapping for a set time?

I have a line trace that triggers an event if hitting a certain object. That is working fine. But I want it to only trigger the event if the character looks at that object for 2 seconds. If the character looks away, the trigger should cancel. I can’t seem to figure it out. Any ideas out there?

  1. Create a Blueprint class of the object that you want to look at for 2 seconds. I called mine ‘BOX_BP’.

  1. Inside your Player Blueprint class, create 2 float variables called “Delta Time” and “Look Timer” and follow the picture below. Hope this helps :slight_smile:

(To get the Break Hit Result node, if you drag out from the Line Trace By Channel “Out Hit” pin and at the bottom you’ll see Break Hit Result, click that :slight_smile: )
