I will try to be as specific as I can. I will say I’m fairly new to this so bear with me.

Actor1: Raw burger
Actor 2: Cooker
I want the them to be able to overlap each others trigger boxes and after a fixed amount of time the burger to cook (change texture which I can do). The issue I am having is I don’t understand how to get them to trigger each others overlap. I can do it with the FirstPersonCharacter in the overlapping actors box but that’s not what I want.

The screenshot shows the class filter as the entire Cooker Actor but that’s obviously not going to work as I need it to be the trigger box.
I’m would appreciate the help and sorry if this is really basic.

I figured it out eventually / am still figuring a few parts out but as it turns out the reason it wasn’t working was because the collision box wasn’t a child of the mesh so therefor every time I moved it to a new location the mesh moved but the collisions stayed where the mesh was spawned.
