Niagara Collision to Apply Gameplay Effect?

[Krileon]

Don’t rely on the engine’s collision feature for a bullet hell game, instead have a list of all objects and actors the bullets can collide with, then check for collisions yourself.

I’ve no idea where to even begin to doing that. Is there any tutorials available? I’m not expecting thousands of projectiles on screen. Probably anywhere from 200-300 realistically.

The new mass framework in UE5 might also be a good fit for this, as it’s meant to update thousand of entities per tick. You can check it out here: Large Numbers of Entities with Mass in Unreal Engine 5 | Talks and demos

I’d love to, but the documentation for Mass is basically non-existing. It’s still marked experimental and doesn’t seam viable for anything other than AI crowds right now.
