Event ActorEndOverlap other actor issue

I don’t understand why the Event ActorEndOverlap can’t get a reference to another actor I’m setting in a different blueprint.

Here’s the situation:

My FirstPersonCharacter blueprint is setting the Hitactor. I then want to use the Hitactor in another blueprint to do an ActorEndOverlap event check. But for some reason, I can’t make a connection between my referenced Hitactor and the actor to check against.

What gives? They’re both of type Actor Reference. I’m confused.

Wait, I guess I have to use an equals check? This works.
