anyone know how to get the location of the closest character/actor from an array (GET ALL ACTORS OF CLASS)?
i want to interact with whichever is the closest of the class. when i use FOREACHLOOP and GETDISTANCETO my character just seams to interact with any random character of the class.

Post a screenshot of your blueprint, it’s likely a logical issue. Using an array of actors, checking the distance of each then picking the nearest should work the way you describe!

If there’s no issue with your BP setup, it’s possible there’s some sort of bug.
