No need to ignore owner in LineTraceSingleByObjectType

[Chris_Schade]

In the video Ben uses the FCollisionParams to ignore the DefaultPawn actor. I don’t understand why this is necessary (other than for educating us about FCollisionParams). The DefaultPawn is not a PhysicsBody, so the DefaultPawn is already filtered out by limiting the ObjectTypes that the trace will hit to PhysicsBody.

Are we maybe changing the simulate physics on the DefaultPawn later on? If so, those sort of things would be nice to mention in the video.

Which is rather useful knowledge:

Buggy Aiming

Took me a little bit but I found your problem. It's because you have your camera in a way that it's always looking at the top of the tank, I debuged this by enabling the debug line trace and noticing it hitting the top of the tank, the red arrows (they look like lines in the picture but they're little arrows) being the normal of the hit. [image] I added the debug line like this if you're wondering const FName TraceTag("TraceTag"); GetWorld()->DebugDrawTraceTag = TraceTag; FCollisionQuery…
