Raycasting through the tank

I found a small bug when moving the camera so that the crosshair goes through the tank

It was actually solved in building escape by implementing the FCollisionQueryParams:

overbyte/unrealcourse-section-7-tank-battle/blob/master/BattleTank/Source/BattleTank/Private/TankPlayerController.cpp#L100


    FRotator OutViewPointRotation;



    GetPlayerViewPoint(

        OutViewPointPosition,

        OutViewPointRotation

    );



    return OutViewPointPosition;

}



bool ATankPlayerController::GetLookVectorHitLocation(const FVector &LookDirection, FVector &OutHitLocation) const

{

    FCollisionQueryParams CollisionParams(

        FName(TEXT("")),

        false,

        GetPawn()

    );



    FHitResult OutHitResult;



    FVector StartLocation = PlayerCameraManager->GetCameraLocation();

I needed to replace GetOwner() with GetPawn() but it solved the issue.
