Hi! I would like to use four line traces to check a wall, tried the first one with an offset on the right (First pie image) but when rotating (second pie image) the line trace goes wrong, I would like it to trace same way than first, witch nodes do I need ?

You’re offsetting your start/end locations **in world space** by 100 units on the Y axis, so that offset will always be in the same “direction” no matter how you rotate your character.

For a minimal change, I suggest replacing both “+” nodes with something like this:

It would be good to calculate the base location and cache it once, then use it later

Thanks! Caching the base location seems to be obligatory in these cases, I understand more!  
Got this result :

Witch for me, seems exact from the script, right ?

Since that, I may handle this :

I found that you should edit your post and add a Question tag, then the solution button will appear!  
Here is the link to the solution
