how triggers works as follow

-U make a trigger box, and within in its blueprint, u can an event called “OnActorBeginOverLap” and here u can do ur work once ur player enter the trigger area.

and u can call another event called"OnActorEndOverlap" where u can control the trigger’s behavior after u leaving the trigger area

hope this will help
