ok, I figured it out!
just adding a simple break statement WORKED!
here’s my new code:
TArray overlaps;
GetCapsuleComponent()->GetOverlappingActors(overlaps);
float closestDist = INFINITY;
for (int i = 0; i < overlaps.Num(); i++)
{
AWeaponActor* castActor = Cast(overlaps[i]);
if (castActor)
{
float dist = this->GetDistanceTo(castActor);
closestDist = FMath::Min(dist, closestDist);
if (dist == closestDist)
{
CurrentStoredMeshData = castActor;
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Visible);
break;
}
else
{
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Hidden);
}
}
}
So, I am having a very strange problem,
All I am trying to do is find the closest overlapped weapon actor to the player and display it’s UI but it’s not working
here is the code:
TArray overlaps;
GetCapsuleComponent()->GetOverlappingActors(overlaps);
float closestDist = INFINITY;
for (int i = 0; i < overlaps.Num(); i++)
{
//My weapon class
AWeaponActor* castActor = Cast(overlaps[i]);
if (castActor)
{
float dist = this->GetDistanceTo(castActor);
closestDist = FMath::Min(dist, closestDist);
if (dist == closestDist)
{
//storing the weapon actor
CurrentStoredMeshData = castActor;
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Visible);
}
else
{
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Hidden);
}
/* I also tried this but it does not work:
if (dist < closestDist)
{
closestDist = dist;
//storing the weapon actor
CurrentStoredMeshData = castActor;
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Visible);
}
else
{
castActor->_WeaponUI->SetVisibility(ESlateVisibility::Hidden);
}
*/
}
}
Here is what happens when I try it out in the editor PIE:
(both the UI widgets should not be visible, only the closest one should be visible)
Did I do this properly?
Is there any other or better way I should do it?
