Line tracing and collision

Hey all,

Not sure if I put this in the right section, but I’m assuming this issue has to do with me being unfamiliar with the tools. Anyways, I have two actors, we’ll call them A and B.

---- A has a sphereComponent on it, of which I’m trying to use as a trigger by setting it in the blueprint “collision” section, as well as using the “Generate Overlapping Events” property.

---- B is a camera that is always multi line tracing between two points using the ECC_Camera channel and returning all of the overlapping objects in it’s hitResults. This part is in C++.

The issue: My sphereComponenet on A is returning in this trace, and I do not want it to. I want this trigger to be used for characters. How do I do this? I thought I simply set the collision information on this specific sphereComponent to ignore Camera and overlap everything else?

Thanks a bunch everyone. I hope you all understand what I’m trying to accomplish.

Try setting the sphere collision to ignore tracing and set its property to something like world dynamic, the set the camera collision to ignore world dynamic.

I thought of that last night as I was going to bed! I’m glad you confirmed my thinking… It works.

Just in case others were thinking like me: My issue was I was under the impression that my A collision settings were telling B to ignore A. But both settings have to be set individually for each collision response. Settings for A only tell A how to handle collision events… settings for B don’t care about A’s settings, it only care’s about it’s own.

Thanks .
