UE5: Sphere Trace - (HIT SCANS)

Hey Royal, do you know about landscape materials? I made a tiling landscape in world machine and also created a set of tiling splat maps. But no where is there a video thay explains how to handle landscape splat maps that tile / are made of mutiple images. Im not talking about making a tiling material that breaks up repetitive textures: I mean for an actual tiled landscape build that is composed of multiple height maps to make a giant open world, instead of how in every tut where they only use one singular height map.

Theres a common bug on unreal, which makes your trace object to not report certain properties, like the location of the hit, normals, etc... despite being detected. To solve this, add a little offset to the "start" or "end" vector. like [0.001,0.001,0.001]. Its a problem that gets overlooked, but when you truly need it, it is a nightmare to figure it out, because of how ridiculous the solution is.

you dont need to trace sphere if you want just query something in a radius, just use sphere overlap, no need for trace

There is also sphere overlap actor/components if you want to just use a sphere. Sphere traces is normally used for things like a line trace but with depth. Like for a thicc projectile.

Any long tutorials planned?
