So, I have something set up where when you press interact at a certain spot, the camera looks at something and your cursor shows up (I’m trying to go for something like the control panels in Alien Isolation.)
Just for testing purposes, I have a simple setup for a static mesh to change materiels whenever the cursor is over it.
But whenever I hover the cursor over it, nothing happens.
Anybody have any ideas as to why?
Did you enable mouse over events in the player controller?
I can’t seem to find the player controller anywhere in my scene. I’m using the third person template, do I need to create it myself?
Also worth noting that I’ve tried using a “set enable mouse over” which doesn’t seem to work either.

To expand on this:
Visibility channel is used by default to detect such interaction:
