Overlap multiple triggers at once and not end previous overlap – how to?

Hello

I’m stuck on simple problem. Game need to check when player is overlaping trigger - for example, hazard area. It works of course with single overlaping, but when triggers are overlaps each other, it reset previous triggers. Here sketchup:

When player (or other object) will be in yellow area A+B it should run both events and not end previous.

Now when player go from for example B to A+B area, it starts B, but when entering A+B he enters A, so B is end overlap.

Sorry maybe not clear description, but I think image can help :wink:

Any help appreciate! ++

Maybe you can show your code. I just tried this and it works fine.

This is simple start/end overlap. When player move from B to A+B, A start overlap and B end overlap. Not leaving B, just entering A

Similar for each “zone”

Hello @Vaheva !

By the look of your Bp, there is no problem, can you show what A does?

The problem looks like its in the Hazard Area In/Out, can that function work on two instances simultaneously? Maybe they are changing the same value or something like that

I just did test with other test trigger actor and it works. No idea why not this before :stuck_out_tongue:

I will test more and tell.

If it is an unreal bug (it happens) you could delete the actors from the world, then dragging them in again or parenting the actors to AActor or whatever other actor, and then re-parenting the actors to the class that you need (A or B)

Solved. My fault. Overlap was ok, just I start same function somewhere else and here was conflict. Thank you for checking :slight_smile:
