In the blueprint, right click on the cube component. On the menu is ‘Add event’, then you can choose overlap. ---

No, that’s your evil cube… you’re making one every half a second ( unless you’ve changed your BPs ). ---

You can upload a gif. Everything looks fine in your BPs apart from the triggerbox BP. You are spawning an evil cube every .5 second! Just get rid of all that BP and actually just PUT one evil cube BP in the level before you begin. I will send a link to a small project which causes damage on overlap. Are you using 4.22 or 4.23? ---
