Setting Up Custom Collision

Set up custom collision to improve your Quest Map Pro integration

This page will go over the process of setting up custom collision channels for the Quest Map Pro objects. This can help with performance, particularly in densely populated worlds, as well as prevent the Quest Map Pro systems from interacting with existing actors and triggering events.

This tutorial assumes you have already completed the Integration tutorial and have Quest Map Pro successfully working within your project.

YouTube Tutorial

The video version of this tutorial is quite similar to the written version. However, the video version may be outdated with small alterations that have happened as a result of the ongoing development of features for Quest Map Pro. With all video tutorials, any alterations to the process will be left as a pinned comment on the video, or just below the embedded video on this page.

Changes to Setting Up Custom Collision video

Just a small correction here. For the NPC Trigger element in the BP_QuestMapPro_CharacterHelper actor, you need to ensure that the collision response for Pawn is set to Overlap, not ignore. All the other triggers are correct in the video, but for NPC Trigger specifically, it needs to overlap with Pawns as well, as NPCs are pawn actor types!
