Hey guys. I am trying to do a function that lets the player place a turret on floors.
I was using linetrace so that it could find the location of where the turret can be placed.
When the turret goes near a wall, or on the floor, it goes a little bit inside it, the model gets inside the wall/floor.
Here is a video that shows what I’m talking about:
How do I fix this? Thanks!
There’s a few ways you could fix this:
Use a sphere trace instead and use the hit location so the turret placement can never be closer than the sphere’s radius.
Change the rotation of the turret to orient itself to the surface of the wall or floor by using the trace’s Hit Normal.
Also using the Hit Normal, you can offset the turret away from the trace hit location by a certain number of units, and it can be more or less in Z than in X with Y to fit the non-spherical dimensions of the turret.
There’s probably better ways than one of those three but let me know if one of them solves your problem.
Thanks a lot I will try them soon.
