I have a line trace that bothers me. here is the blueprint and an image of what i am talking about.
basically the first line trace continues to trace even after a hit how would i stop this? thank you!
i want the traces to stop upon hitting an object instead of continue once they hit
basically the first line trace
continues to trace
It does not, not really - there’s no sequential continuity here - you’d need a multiline trace for that; what is returned is the very first hit from the geometry responding to the pertinent channel, no other hits will be returned from that line colliding.
You’ve asked for a vector with a magnitude of 20k uus, that’s what you get. If you wanted a shorter trace, you’d need to detect the desired length first, for which you’d need another (most likely longer) trace…

If you’re worried that the trace will hit something beyond the wall, it will not. Once you get your blocking hit, you’re done tracing. The rest is just a visualisation of the line:
tl;dr: the laser thing will work fine.
