Description

The Light Probe System allows an Actor to detect nearby light sources to determine how illuminated they are. This system was built to allow lighting to affect the Zombie AI’s sight, making them less likely to see the VR player in darkness. This system includes the BPC_LightProbe component that gives the owner the ability to probe light sources around it and a series of custom probe-able light source Blueprints.

Future Features

This system has been cut for this project, so its development has been halted. The features that still need to be implemented are:

1. Ability to Probe Global Illumination Sources:
   • Implement the ability to probe light sources that contribute to global illumination, such as DirectionalLigh**t** and SkyLight.
2. Integration with VRPawn:
   • Add the light probe component to the VRPawn in your project.
   • Create an interface with a function that allows the VRPawn to probe the light sources in its vicinity and return the accumulated illumination value of the probed light sources.
3. Integration with Zombie AI Sight:
   • Have the Zombie AI check the illumination value on the VRPawn to determine if it is visible.
