Image of line of sight

How to use the sample

Open LineOfSight level.
Click on ArcGISMapActor in the Outliner.
Set your API key in the Details panel.
Click play and see the line color change to red if there is any object obstructing the sight.

Have an ArcGIS Map with the mesh collider enabled.
Have a camera with the ArcGIS Camera Component attached for the area.
Have an Actor for checking line of sight (LineOfSight Actor) and another for defining the path that the target object is moving along (WayPoints Actor).
The moiving object's path is defined by Spline Components.
The LineOfSignt Actor looks for an instance of the WayPoints Actor and performs a line trace between them at each frame.
- Any actors that unintentionally intersect the trace can be added to the Actors to Ignore of the line trace in the LineOfSignt Actor blueprint.
- The visual cue for the line of sight changes its color depending on whether the line trace hits the target object or not.
