Collision box not working

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

I’m working on the unreal university tutorials and I’m at the part where I’m creating gold bars to pick up. I’ve created the gold bars and put a collision box around it and put all (or so I thought) the correct BPs and configurations to allow me to hit them and destroy them as I hit them. It’s not working. I can pass right through the box. What did I miss? I’m doing this on 5.6.1.

Yes, I’m a noob. I’m looking to learn something new and Unreal may be it. (I like it so far)

It’s good to differentiate between hit and overlap.

A collision box is for overlap. For that to work, both objects need an overlap volume.

If you really mean ‘hit’, then you need to get the objects to actually hit each other, and use hit nodes, not overlap.
