/ How to Make a Block Volume for a Specific Character - Unreal Engine 5

In Unreal Engine, block volumes are typically associated with a type of primitive geometry called a "BlockingVolume" or "BlockingVolumeBase." These volumes are used to define areas in a game level where characters or other objects should not be able to move. They act as invisible barriers or boundaries that restrict the movement of characters, preventing them from entering certain regions or falling off cliffs.

Placement:

Level designers can place block volumes in the game world using the Unreal Editor.
These volumes can be positioned and sized to create specific barriers or zones within the level.
Character Interaction:

When a character controlled by a player or AI encounters a block volume, it should respond to the volume's properties.
The character's movement should be restricted or modified when it enters the volume.
Properties:

Block volumes may have various properties that can be adjusted to customize their behavior.
Properties might include collision settings, visibility, and effects on characters (e.g., slowing down movement within the volume).
Visual Representation:

While block volumes are typically invisible during gameplay, they may be visually represented in the editor for easy placement and editing.
Debugging tools may allow developers to visualize block volumes in-game for testing purposes.
Blueprints and Scripting:

Unreal Engine uses Blueprints and scripting (such as with C++) to define specific behaviors associated with block volumes.
Developers can customize how characters interact with block volumes through scripting.
