Why is there no box tracing function?

Hi, there’s currently available tracing functions that use lines, capsules and spheres, what about a box one? I’d find it more rigorous in some AI situations, for example. I don’t mean only a cube, but a cuboid / box where you can specify length, amplitude and height.

Hi,

We don’t support this via Blueprints at the moment, something of an oversight! The C++ API allows for box traces/sweeps, but only lines, capsules and spheres are available for Blueprint to use.

I’ll add the feature request to the backlog!

Nice, thank you Tom.

Any new approximate date for including this in BP?

The work has already been done and can be found in the master branch here. It should make it out for 4.3.

Good to know that, thanks.
