I want characters to walk through each other but not stay overlapped by pushing away from each other any ideas
What exactly shall overlap and when should they start to be pushed away?
For overlaps which take too long, you could start a timer in the “Begin Overlap” event which is then increased by event tick until the “End Overlap” event is called. If the timer takes too long, you could temporarily create a collision component which blocks the other character and pushes it out of reach.
I want the whole character mesh to everlap each other
But I want each character to have a gentle rejection force so they no longer overlap
Maybe you could calculate the distance vector between your characters and add a force to your component which is directed in the opposite direction of the distance vector. This force could start to be applied on Begin Overlap and be dynamically increased e.g. based on the remaining distance between the character locations.
Add force doesnt seem to work on characters **as the capsule component needs to simulate physics which stops character moving and makes the capsule component fall over **
