Hi , how can i prevent motion controller to overlap objects ? i attached a static mesh (hand) to motion controller but no matter what option i chose to block it from overlapping other box it just overlap it , is there are a way to make other object block my hand from overlapping them ? its easy with normal game mechanic as everything woks fine but with motion controller blocking is not working

Reason i asked cause i saw many games works perfectly without overlapping like PSVR London hist when you have the gun on your hand and it works well and same goes with game called "Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades " min 01:20 Virtual Shooting Range & Guns #1 - Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades - H3VR Htc Vive - YouTube gun collide with magazine .

You don’t want to attach a mesh to the motion controller in this case- the players hand will never be stopped by physics.

Here’s what I would do -

Create an actor, and attach the mesh as a component to it.
In its tick, do a collision sweep from the actors current position to where the motion controller is.
If there’s a collision, do not update the actors position. If there IS a collision, move the actor to where the controller is.

Does this make sense?

Hi mhnoni,
Have you try this method? Working?
I have a HTC Vive … I used the template provided (4.16) and actually, as soon as one “hand” (motion controller) takes an object, it overlap in the other object until it has been dropped …
I’m not very good on Blueprint making, but if you could find a solution, I’m very interested! Thank you

actually not yet . I didn’t have time to implement it so Left it for now .
