disable / enable light at certain places

[Trucabulles]

Hi,
I have attached a light bulb to a third person character setup to simulate a torch much needed in some very dark places. Obviously this torch is not needed when the character is outside.

My question :

How to switch on and off this light bulb when the character arrives in rooms or goes back outside ?

Thank you

You can set "trigger boxes" inside the rooms that call a toggle event on the Pawn when Pawn overlaps with them.


Sample: Trigger box set up in a room



For our trigger box, we set the On Component Begin Overlap and On Component End Overlap to call the Toggle Light event on our Pawn.



Our Toggle Light event is simply setting the intensity of the light - the functionality may differ depending on how your turning on / off your light. I hope this helps

Thanks a lot, I am going to give this a try
