 <br>This is a Blueprint Function Library with a few functions that are callable in AActors to do depth trace results, for use in things like projectiles and tools.<br><br><br>
<br>Depth-based trace
<br>Forward and backward trace results for bullet holes
<br>Simple to implement into existing systems
<br>Easy debug options
<br><br><br>This node works by simulating depth using two line traces—one forward and one backward from the point of impact. These traces scan for objects in their paths and gather information about the hit results. The distance travelled through each material is multiplied by its density (defined in the material's physical properties), which determines how much the projectile is slowed down or whether it stops entirely. Finally, the node returns a list of hit results, including the total depth.<br><br>Depth Trace by Channel<br>

Depth Trace by Profile<br>
<img alt="DepthTraceByProfile.png" src="https://lit.ruv.wtf/docs/images/depthtracebyprofile.png"><br><br><br><br>This can be seamlessly integrated with existing systems with minimal changes to your current blueprint setup.<br>By simply replacing your current line trace nodes with the Depth Trace node, you’ll get the added benefit of depth effects.<br><br>While adding a custom collision channel is optional, it can be a bit more time-consuming and may cause other systems in your project to break if not set up correctly. By default, your existing channels might not be set to overlap, so setting up a new custom trace channel helps ensure compatibility.<br>To set up a custom trace channel in Unreal Engine, follow these steps:<br>
<br>Go to Project Settings → Engine → Collision.
<br>In the Collision Channels section, click Add New.
<br>Set the following properties for the new channel:

<br>Name: Projectile (or a name of your choice)
<br>Default Response: Overlap
