How do I get my TriggerBox BP to control my LightToggle BP?

Thanks!

I can’t seem to get it to work though. Not sure where I am going wrong…
Here is what is inside the BPs - they are essentially empty:

  • LightToggle_BP: CustomerEvent → ToggleActive (pointlights)
  • TriggerBox_BP: OnComponentBeginOverlap(Box) → Cast to FirstPersonCharacter

This is pretty much what I did:

  1. I created a variable in the TriggerBox_BP. I wasn’t sure what type to set the variable to. Would that be Object Type? If so I searched for light toggle and I found something that looked like the LightToggle_BP but UE4 had added spaces? In the end, I tried both class and instance.
  2. In the editor, clicking on the TriggerBox instance, I set each of the two defaults (?) to the LightToggle reference which was available in the dropdown menu. (I have also tried using just class or just instance variable types.)
  3. When back in the TriggerBox_BP I dragged in the variable and I couldn’t find the custom event from the LightToggle_BP

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks and soz for being a numpty!
