Get Overlapping Actors damages even when nothings overlapping

Hi guys.

I’m basically trying to get an ai to receive damage when they are overlapping a capsule on my character bp. But for some reason even when the ai isn’t overlapping the capsule they still receive damage.
Heres a video:

What could be the cause of this?

Thanks

Iv’e figured out that its the collision components inside my ai bp:

When one of the ai collision components overlap the component in the characterbp the ai receives damage.
so I need to find away of getting the collision component in the characterbp to ignore the collision components in the ai bp.

I’m going to have a fiddle around but if anyone has any ideas please do let me know.

Thanks!

Can’t you get the overlapping actors of the smaller collision shape? It shouldn’t be a problem.

Hi thanks for the response! How would I go about doing that?
What I think I need to do somehow is have the Get Overlapping Actors node to ignore all of the collision components except for the CapsuleComponent in the AI BP.

Thanks

Ahh I’ve figured it. I set the capsule in the characterBP to this:
