Event response? Triggering Actor

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi there, is there a way to make an overlap function return the actor that triggers the event?

For example, currently you can do OnComponentBeingOverlap to detect when the volume gets triggered.
But I’m not aware of any method to return THAT particular actor that runs in to the volume. I think this would be a very useful function.

I do know a very long winded way that I’m currently using, which is to loop through the overlapping actors, which mean sit include all actor that is currently in the volume. This would take filtering to get the actor I want.

Appreciate a feedback on this.

The OnComponentBeginOverlap event should have output pins for OtherActor and OtherComponent that started overlapping that component.

hah. i actually thought that meant ‘other’ actor that overlaps the component at that time.

thanks…will try it out
