Sphere trace for Foot IK

[emrehan98]

Hi, Sixze.

I'm not sure if my suggestion is out of scope but there is a problem with line traces. I noticed this problem after I switched to 4.26. Sometimes line traces miss certain type of meshes, in my case the structure mesh. So if I use line trace for IK, it doesn't hit the mesh time to time and it ends up like in the video. So I switched to sphere trace instead of line trace. Maybe giving another trace type as an option can be really helpful in these scenerios.

I guess sphere trace can hit wider range of area so it doesn't miss the target like line trace does.

Edit: By the way I'm not sure if you are interested with my suggestion but if you are, here's the same static mesh you can test.

Foot uses complex traces, and your geometry has a lot of small gaps, so the trace can sometimes go through them. You can try to work around this problem by using a simple collision as complex for this mesh.

Later I will try to use sphere traces instead, but this could potentially lead to new problems.

I had no idea about this, switched back to line trace as your solution works perfectly! Thanks.
