LAUNCH

Notice that the bounding box used to perform the selection is the bounding box of the Perception Shape, which is defined in the Character Maker and can be overridden with any geometry in the Entity Type node Perception Attributes. To check what's the picking bounding box of the Entity, switch the Display Mode of the Entities to Bounding Box.
