Hello, i’m trying to do when the player hit an actor\_BP (which is a trigger box) it cast to the agentAnim\_BP but i don’t know what i need to link with the _objet_.

Thanks for your help. 🙂

Hey @Wadjidjo!

So casting isn’t exactly what you need to be doing here. You should try using a “Custom Event” on the Agent, then drag your skeletal mesh in, use “Get Animation Blueprint”, and then cast THAT to “agent\_AnimBP” → set “Danse?” = true.

Then on your trigger box, you’ll use an _Event Dispatcher_ to send that message to the agent 🙂 Here’s some documentation on how that works!

So i read the documentation about Call and Bind and i tried something like that but it still doesn’t work. ☹ (Instead of _Event BeginPlay_ in the boxdanse\_BP it’s a _BeginOverlap_ i was testing some things my bad)
