Player Aim Raycast not colliding with tanks

When I aim directly at a tank, it shoots behind the tank, rather than shooting for the enemy tank location.

We’ve set the collision trace channel to Visibility, but I’m not seeing that work properly.

When I log my hit result name, I always see the landscape.

Yet the tank collision preset “PhysicsActor” SHOULD block visibility trace.
Why isn’t this actually happening?

Seems strange. Perhaps you have visibility set somewhere else as well. Perhaps check the root actor as well as all the components.

I fixed this issue.

We had set the tanks collision to a simple box, but visibility collision i think is complex. So in the tank static mesh under “Collision Complexity” I set “Use Simple Collision as Complex” and it worked.
