I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong but for some reason my player damaging enemy code only works after overlapping the collision?
For example:
Only once per overlap can the player damage the enemy without leaving and reoverlapping??
(Here’s a video example)
I’m not really sure why this is- this is my code for the logic. If anyone has any ideas I’d be greatly appreciative!

You lack a secondary execution (‘Interface’ or ‘Custom Event’) before the ‘Do Once’ node. You’re currently using your ‘On Component Begin Overlap’ as an execution, which only happens once.
What you might do instead is call a hit execution (‘Interface’ or ‘Custom Event’) from the player on attack and only use the ‘On Component Begin Overlap’ to set ‘Close Enough GNOME HIT?’ true or false.
Otherwise extend your loop back to the ‘Do Once’ node. Your ‘Hit?’ boolean doesn’t trigger anything after the first overlap because your loop merely resets the ‘Do Once’ node. If you add a ‘Sequence’ after ‘Chase Gnome’ you can connect the second pin to the execution pin of ‘Do Once’.
UE does have built-in ‘Apply Damage’ and ‘Event AnyDamage’ nodes to simply things, but if you’re happy with your setup, one of the above is all you’d need to change.
