This Snippet will get any actor that is near the specified part of the screen. This snippet is actually advanced and hard to understand by some users. But I will try to Pinpoint its use:
Snippet Application Example:
- A 2D Rectangle somewhere within the screen will bound the area of where desired actors will be fetched. the Drawing of Rectangle is from TopLeft to BottomRight
- Inside the 2D Rectangle, the user has an option to pin a "Base Coordinate". This Base Coordinate will be the "Center of Radius" for fetching nearby actors.
- The Base Coordinate(_nearscreencoordXY) shall be within the 2D Rectangle.
- It has a parameter to IGNORE a specific Actor that will not be processed during the actor fetching. The Actor fetching is all screen based(bounded within the screen), anything outside/not seenable will not be processed by this Snippet.
Code:
