This should go onto the player character, this component interfaces with the Interaction Component making interaction possible in both singleplayer and multiplayer environments.
This component is meant to either be used as is, or be subclassed and overriding a few set of functions to allow for custom functionality.
Note: This doesn't handle the trigger effect, but handles the way that the player interacts with the object.
This component comes preconfigured with an instant and timed based interaction.
Instant: Instantly Interacts with the Actor
Timed: Interacts with the Actor after a certain amount of time, releasing the before the interaction has triggered will cancel the interaction attempt
Note: You will need to subclass this component and override the GetTraceLocation function and set the start trace location as well as the end trace location to make sure that the Sphere and Line trace trace mode types works correctly.
Execute Custom Interaction Event: Override this function to create your own player interaction type.
Custom Release: Override this function to create your own release behavior.
Custom Cancel: Override this function to create your own custom interaction cancel behavior.
Custom Trace: Override this to create your own trace behavior for detecting and interacting with actors.
Do Interact: Call this function to interact with the currently detected interactable.
Release Interaction: Call this function to release the interaction.
Cancel Interaction: Call this function to Cancel the interaction.
Detect Interactable: Call this function to try and detect an interactable.
Get Detected Interactable: Returns the current detected interactable.
Get Trace Location: This will return the start and end trace location vectors.
Set Actors to Ignore: Sets the actors which should be ignored by the Interactable Detection functions.
Is Interaction Active: Returns True if an Interaction Event has been started.
Is same Interaction Component: Returns True if the input parameters interaction component is the same as the currently detected one.
Execute Timed Event: Will execute a timed interaction event, this will also update the On Event Progress Update every tick. Note that this will trigger the interactable when the timed event finishes.
Cancel Timed Event: This will cancel and reset the timed event.
