Can’t Add Action Event to Actor Component

I’m following a tutorial using UE5 while I’m in UE4, and I’m trying to make an inventory and one section is an Actor Component Blueprint. The tutorial shows he makes the InputAction Interact in the actor compo, though NO action events AT ALL will go in, I can’t even copy and paste. What do I do here?

(I’m posting this a second time cause no one saw it before)

Sorry for necroposting, but I’m having the exact same issue.

It’s not an event but in input action called interact.
It’s using the old input system.

You need to add and name the input yourself

I know, just not using the correct words. I already added an input action and I can add it in my character blueprint.

Not possible in UE 4.

Workaround is to create an event in the AC called Interact. Then implement the input in the character/controller. On input call the AC’s input event.

I’m using unreal 5.3 though.

I’d opt for the Enhanced Input :

The old methods are already deprecated, but do work out of the box in UE5.


Could you show the input mapping in the project settings?

I’m having the exact same issue.

Could you show where exactly are you trying to add input? Perhaps you’re trying it inside a function? That will not work, for example.

Tried to create it inside a function…

It was that simple. Thanks.
