Filter Actor on a Trigger? By Name?

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi, i’m porting the concept of the game I was developing in Source Engine 1.0, Unreal has been a lot easier.
I am doing this:

I have the main third person player (ThirdPersonCharacter), and another actor that can be possessed with a key (ThirdPersonCharacter_Clone).
Theres a Trigger volume in the level, but when I step on it with the possessed Actor it activates the blueprint script and I dont want to, I want that only the main Actor (ThirdPersonCharacter) could activate it.

I think it has something to do with collision or some node that “filters” the entity by name or something, thats the way it works in Source, theres a filter by name, I dont know if theres a way to do this here on Unreal, if yes tell me how to do it, Thanks!

I think I found the answer.

You just need a CastToThirdPersonCharacter node, Connect the “Object” pin to the “Other Actor” pin on the “OnComponentBeginOverlap (NAMEOFTHEBOX)”

The same for the “OnComponentEndOverlap”.

It works very fine,
But If there’s still another way please tell me! thanks :slight_smile:
