Hey,
I've run into a problem (or possible bug) with the Get Controller Collision Flags action.
Basically I'm creating an AI behaviour so that when a character hits a wall it turns around and walks the other way. When I have this action on an engine object, it works perfectly, the collision flag for sides reads True when it hits a wall, and I have the character walking the other way without any issue. However, when I try to add the same FSM to the character object itself (so that I can use the character as a prefab), and detect collisions with UseOwner, it stops functioning, the collision flag for sides never changes to True, even when it most definitely is hitting a wall.
Would love some assistance on this as it's pretty much a core mechanic of my current project.

Tried putting the FSM on a child object of the character, same issue, won't detect the collision on the character. Maybe something to do with space being treated differently as children of an object??

Do you have a small sample scene that you could send for me to look at?
Not sure what you mean by an engine object? Do you mean when testing it on something like a cylinder primitive? Does the character object have the same character controller setup?

Hey Alex,
By engine object I mean just an empty object with the majority of my FSMs on it to keep things organised.
I'll whip up a trimmed-down scene and send it to you, where should I send it? And do I just export a package and send that off to you?

You can zip the project or export a package and send it to the email in my profile.

Sent! Many thanks.
