Trace to complex collision returns incorrect PhysicalMaterial

Trace to complex collision returns incorrect PhysicalMaterial

Description

In ConvertQueryImpactHitImp, MaterialIndex is looked up from InternalFaceIndex, but FTriangleMeshImplicitObject:: MaterialIndices is an array by ExternalFaceIndex, so it returns incorrect material index.

Here is a workaround

uint16 FTriangleMeshImplicitObject::GetMaterialIndex(uint32 HintIndex) const
{
#if 0
    if (MaterialIndices.IsValidIndex(HintIndex))
    {
        return MaterialIndices[HintIndex];
    }
#else
    int32 ExternalFaceIndex = GetExternalFaceIndexFromInternal(HintIndex/*InternalFaceIndex*/);
    if (ExternalFaceIndex > -1 && MaterialIndices.IsValidIndex(ExternalFaceIndex))
    {
        return MaterialIndices[ExternalFaceIndex];
    }
#endif
    // 0 should always be the default material for a shape
    return 0;
}

 

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the attached project on ue5.1
  2. Start PIE
  3. Point the camera at the white brick of the building

Result

The PhysicalMaterial of the white brick is set to Ice, but it returns different PhysicalMaterials depending on its position (see [Link Removed])
