Re: Phonon Probe Volumes and trace interactions

In general, if you use raycasts (https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Gameplay/HowTo/UseRaycasts/Blueprints/) to find intersections with the scene’s static objects (e.g. using the node LineTraceForObjects) you may want to pass as objects the type “WorldStatic”, because this is the default object type for all static objects.

Since some volumes by default are WorldStatic too (e.g.NavMeshBoundVolume), if you don’t change the collision preset for the volume to NoCollision or to Custom + a different Object Type inside this volume the LineTraceForObjects would not work because it would always intersect with the volume. This is for example the case for the “teleportation” raycast used in the VR template.

The Phonon Probe Volumes seem to be WorldStatic too, and do not allow at the moment to change object type or collision preset (so at the moment the only solution is to change the object type of all the other objects in the scene). Please let me know if you need more specific details, or let me know if I am missing something obvious

Okay - great - I’ll take a look at this for 4.17. Thanks!
