Hey, I really like this system. Is there a way to add verticality to the mesh? I would like to have a decal material that follows the shape, so it is projected down to uneven landscapes. Any pointers on how I would modify the C++ code to achieve this? ---

Hi. Interesting question. The mesh is flat and defines enemies (objects) only that intersect the grid (or TraceLine lines if the mesh is not created). If you need to identify enemies at a different height, create several components (display only one). About the material : I haven’t tried decals. I can’t answer this question. But, one user sent me a screenshot, he used my component and made a Scene Capture and recorded the result in the Render Target. And Render Target was used in the material. Example Render Target and result: [[Album] imgur.com ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/2/0/c2074eb41d652cbb0ed20ac44f68e1b4c1469f77.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/a/Z0yr7iI) [[Album] imgur.com ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/9/6/896ea5944c55de53f13962c5449c861a235b423f.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/a/B04PRZY) But I don’t have the details, I’m not an expert in materials. ---

I’m doing a SetTickEnable after I detect an actor, which I see calls StopLineTrace. However, I’m still able to get overlaps. Also, SetTickEnable should only call StopLineTrace when is false, if it is true, it should not stop, don’t you think? ---

Yes, it’s a bug. You can use “SetComponentTickEnabled”. In theory it works faster than calling stop\* and start line trace. After calling “SetComponentTickEnabled” you also need to disable mesh visibility. I couldn’t repeat it. The “StopLineTrace” function should completely disable tracing and calls of Begin and End Overlap events. ---

Hello, I am trying out “LineOfSight. Manual. Pseudo lighting (PostProcess)” tutorial in Unreal Engine 5.2. When I press play, the scene gets brighter and brighter. I think the issue is coming from the post process material because when I see “M\_PostProcess1”'s preview window, it gets brighter and brighter even though Blackout value is set to “0.1”. I currently have only default “DirectionalLight” from the engine. (Only this light makes line of sight visible as expected) Could you suggest me what to do to not make the scene get brighter and brighter when blackout value is larger than zero? ---

Hello. Maybe I made a mistake when I wrote the manual. Check out the youtube version. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxlvvz5\_GJs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxlvvz5_GJs). Use the way with ZStartCloneTo nodes. Now I repeated the method from the video and it works. Most likely the error is not in the material. The error is in the settings. ---
