"LOOK AT" as trigger events [4.26]

[anonymous_user_e49dec17]

Hello to all. Thanks in advance for your attention. I’m trying to create a first-person interaction that allows me to highlight a widget with info whenever I point to a certain object. Also, this widget will have to disappear when I stop pointing to that given object.
I first tried to use a long cone trigger, but I don’t want to look beyond walls, and if I hit collisions I risk getting stuck with my cone.
I’ve tried line-trace, and it seems like the ideal solution. However I cannot update the widget when I stop pointing to that given object.
Could someone show me an ideal chart? Thank you very much

The whole shebang:

Third person crosshair object highlight troubles

The communication in the example revolves around Inheritance + Interface - a potent combo, imho. the base class implements the interface (which children inherit) the widget uses the same interface - calls children receive can be propagated: Actor → Widget Component → Widget without casting or finding user widgets (this can be done in many ways, though) [image] the player has a collision sphere and sends an interface call to overlapped actors as we approach: [image] [image] Above, handl…

The first / third person perspective should matter little. The logic is the same.

You could probably ignore the proximity part if it’s not needed.
