Master Interactions in Unreal Engine 5 (Event Hit, Overlap, and Line Trace)
187Don't know when to use an Event Hit, an Overlap, or a Line Trace in Unreal Engine? This video is for you! 👇
I explain step-by-step and with real-life examples how the main interaction types work in Unreal Engine 5, including:
Event Hit: what it detects and why it can cause problems if you use "Cast To."
Overlap: ideal for activation zones without physical collisions.
Physics: how to use gravity and real forces to move objects.
Line Trace + Blueprint Interface: how to accurately detect objects, shoot, or measure distances.
🛞 Need more examples? In a racing game:
Event Hit: to detect collisions.
Overlap: to count laps when crossing the finish line.
Physics: to make objects fly when hitting them.
Line Trace: to measure distance to the ground or launch an attack.
In addition, I teach you best practices, when to use each type, and what mistakes to avoid. Such as Cast To.
🔧 Ideal if you're just starting out with Unreal Engine and want to learn how to make responsive games.
