Hit/Overlap not registering when my sword collides with enemy

[JanKu86]

Hey guys,
I’m starting to run out of ideas what the issue might be. I’m developing in 5.2 blueprint for Oculus Quest 2. In the game, I use the motion controller to pick up my sword. I want to swing the sword at a dragon. The script is not registering a hit nor an overlap event. I’m using the following Blueprints and settings:

BP_Weapon (1)

BP_Weapon (2)

BP_Weapon (3)

BP_Player

Dragon inherits from enemy and uses its Take Damage event.

BP_Dragon (1)

BP_Dragon (2)

BP_Enemy

None of the print strings related to the hits are showing. Print strings related to pick ups are showing.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is much appreciated.

Overlaps do not generate hits.

And try to check overlap on collisions, not block.

And what is this custom event “OnPointTakeDamage”?

[JanKu86]

You’re totally right. I changed the collision sets to overlap instead of block and it works like a charm … out of curiousity and for my learning, what exactly is the difference here?
