Overlap Check Preferences expose one advanced global setting that controls how aggressively MegaWorld searches for nearby objects before running the detailed overlap test.
This is an advanced user setting. Change it only if you observe objects spawning inside each other despite having overlap shapes configured correctly.
Settings
Multiply Find Size
Default: 1
A multiplier applied to the search volume MegaWorld uses when scanning for nearby prototype instances before the detailed overlap test runs.
MegaWorld’s overlap check works in two phases:
- Find phase — a broad search in a volume around the spawn candidate to collect nearby objects
- Test phase — a precise overlap test against the collected candidates
This preference scales the find phase volume. If you increase the Overlap Shape (sphere size or bounds size) but spawned objects still clip into each other, it may mean the find phase is not collecting all nearby candidates. Increasing Multiply Find Size expands the search area so more candidates are found.
Tradeoff: A larger multiplier improves detection accuracy but increases the time MegaWorld spends on each spawn check. Raise it in small steps and stop as soon as the overlap issue is resolved.
Effect on Overlap Check Settings
This preference supports the overlap-search phase used by Overlap Check Settings. It does not change the overlap shape itself — it only changes how far MegaWorld looks when collecting candidates to test against.
If you increase an Overlap Shape and objects still spawn inside each other, try raising Multiply Find Size to 1.5 or 2. That is usually enough to fix candidate-collection misses.
