Change Color of a Mesh Using Trigger Box

Development Asset Creation

I have a scene where you enter a room and I have labels (step 1 through 7) that change from black to yellow once you enter a box trigger. The box trigger does two things. 1 - Opens a Widget and 2 - changes the color of the next step label so when you close the widget you see which step to do next. I had this working perfectly but for some reason the last three labels will not change color. The logic hasn’t changed so I’m perplexed. Any thoughts or suggestions I can look into are much appreciated. Thanks!

Step 5 and 6 are two of the problems labels.

It looks pretty logical. The only thing I notice, is you’re not checking what’s causing the overlap. Could something else be overlapping?

My assumptions are:

A - There may be another actor of the same class somewhere else in the level that’s having its material changed.
B - Target Step 6 SM and Target Step 7 SM are using materials from Material index 1?
C - TriggerBox_Step_5 and TriggerBox_Step_6 aren’t being triggered. Check collision settings inside the details tab.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the replies. Your response got me to compare the details of the labels that did work and those that didn’t. The labels that didn’t work were set to Static and the others were Movable. After changing them, they worked. I’m not sure why that would make a difference. Thanks again for taking the time.
