Technical Details

About the laser

• Particle system completely customizable (color / size ...).
• Only one laser blueprint actor (we used child actor to past the laser on other actors).
• Not use the 'lineByChannel' everytime, just when it's created.

How does the laser detect a collision?

When a laser is created, the laser make a trigger dynamically to avoid using the 'linebychannel' constantly, so it can know when the laser is overlapping with BEGIN and END overlap event.

How does the laser detect a movement/ rotation ?

With an event tick function : the function compares the position / scale and rotation of the laser and hit actors with their current values, if it changes then the laser is update. Our tests and feedback from the communities are positive on this solution.

How does the laser reflect?

The laser detect the hit material type, if it's a reflection material then it creates a blueprint laser at the hit location until no more mirror is detected.
