The Re-Inventing the Wheel Thread

I briefly tested ComponentSweepMulti for wheel tracing. You can use it to sweep any custom collider against geometry. I did get it working but of course the performance wasn’t anywhere near as good as with traditional tracing. It could however work pretty well on games where you only have few vehicles (with 4 or less wheels).

Edit-> Just realized that I actually tested it only against primitive collisions, I don’t have test environment for this anymore so can’t test it against landscapes but I don’t expect it to work there.

I’ve tried SweepTrace from blueprints and it did worked for tanks but had serious issues with scaled geometry. Periodically it would push wheels underground to collide with an edge of the scaled box collision.
