Blueprint Dialogue System

Ah ok, I’ll go through some possible problems and maybe I’ll scratch the issue.

• The default collision channel for the UseScanner is the Visibility channel. Make sure the actor handles this trace channel as **block **(overlap might also work), or change the UseScanner to use a different channel that is handled this way.
  NOTE: Characters in UE4 have a default visible channel of ignore for some reason. (anecdote) I have changed this in my projects with hundreds of characters without noticing a difference - no idea why it’s the default.

• Make sure **ScanForUsables **in BPC_UseScanner is being called (set a breakpoint at the start of the function). If it’s not called, either make sure the tick is enabled on the component, or ScanForUsables is called manually.

• Make sure that your Use input is being called properly
  **Note: **The message “Press E to Use” is a debug print message in the sample, these don’t print in packaged builds

I will try that, yes aware of the press E message. I have a UMG messaging system I am sending but the trace/collision may be the issue because UMG isn’t even getting the message. But for what it is worth I also changed the default player (in my game mode) to yours to see if there was a dependency or setting I was missing and it did not work.

For sanity I also tried pressing E and clicking on it without messaging to see if something was still working under the hood but no luck…

P.S. Thank you for working with me on this. It is difficult trying to do advanced things and creating complete prototypes as just a UI designer

EDIT

So I tried making the changes, integrating the controls to my player and running it and all hell breaks loose

I am including my PIE warnings.
