Badly needed for tomorrow for thesis defense i just need a tutorial to make a trigger box or source of fire and when i get near it the torch that i pickup and lightup the torch. Here is what i been developing. veil - Google Drive
Quick fix:
- make torch an actor
- in the torch code (use event tick) get player controller → get pawn
- get torch WORLD location (Self → actor → WorldActorLocation)
- get player pawn location get player controller → get pawn → get ActorWorldLocation
- substract both location, and get vector length (this will be distance)
- if distance is Less than some value : player is close to torch
Use trigger way (door tutorial), just instead door make torch lit/unlit (show / hide particle effect and light):

Yes it’s an actor that can be pickup and drop and place on the wall. Same as this video tutorial in yt. I follow this but theonly problem is that he didn’t post a part 3 so that i can’t finish it. https://youtu.be/V3vQ8IcPyKA?si=JEdYEcBlS2XNRBQZ
I’m going to make this as simple as possible. So no interfaces, no distance calculation, nor nothing. Just custom events, casts and a trigger box.
In your torch BP, create a custom event to turn the light source or whatever on/off:
In your character BP, since you have the attached torch actor reference, create another custom event to turn the torch on/off:
Place a trigger box in your level:
Select the trigger box you just placed in the map and go your level BP:
now place the begin and end overlap events for the trigger box:
when player enter triggers box => torch on
when player exits triggers box => torch off
