How can I make it so that when an actor simulates physics, another actor does an action?

So I think the title sums it all up, i ve tried casting to another bp but nothing worked.

Hey there
If you want an actor doing something when another actor does something, the best approach is usually to create Event dispatchers.

HTF do I? Event Dispatchers in Unreal Engine 4

thank you!

i tried to do it with a string but the event won t fire

It should be something as simple as this

Your Player Character BP

The BP in which you bind the Event to the Player Character

it’s important to make sure your Player Character has spawned and is fully setup before binding anything to it.

i always set my bind target to the as bp player character, not the player, i will surely try this tommorrow, thank you!

it still won t work, i guess i just don t get it…

after many tries I managed to find out how to do it, here is the code

it may not be the best way, but it worked for me =)

How do you simulate physics in editor unreal?

If an Object has mobility set to Movable and it has a simple collision, you can click the check flag Simulate Physics in the Physics Rollout and the Object will be simulated when Simulate in Editor or Play in Editor is clicked.
