Hi, at the moment i’m traceing out from my player and on hit i’m traceing out again. id like to reflect the second vector as if it where a bounce. iv been looking at this:

i guess i should be makeing a dot product of the hit normal and the forward vector of the player but im a little confused as what to do next. any help would be fantastic im very new to vector math and BP.
here is what i have so far (my second trace just goes out on the hit normal)

You have the correct link there, you just need to implement the steps described. I can prepare a screenshot of the nodes when I have the chance.
