Hello everyone. I’ve been working through the Epic Games approved Unreal Engine course on Udemy. https://www.udemy.com/course/unreale4/ I’m on the pinball section right now and have encountered an issue. I modeled my event graph identically to the instructor, but when my pinball hits the bumper it …

Here you go. Hope this is useful. [302326-screenshot-2.jpg]

It seems that no impulse is applied. So, let’s start with checking if the cast succeeds: [302351-1.png] If it prints “CAST OK”, then increase the impulse from 10k to 100k and see what happens.

Okay. I modeled mine exactly after yours, and I have triple checked it, but when the ball collides I don’t get anything in the output log at all. Neither Cast Failed or Cast ok appears.

Then the collision is not being detected. What are the collision settings and the components hierarchy for both the ball and the bumper?

Hi. I’m sorry, I’m still pretty new to Unreal Engine, where can I find this at?

Okay. The bumper collisions is set to overlap all. The ball collision is set to Physics Actor.

Make sure that in bumper: BumperMesh: nocollision Capsule: OverlapAllDynamic or OverlapAll

I changed the collisions to like you said, and now the ball just goes straight through the bumper without colliding. I didn’t set it to no collision though. What should I do?

Can you show me the Ball BP? Is it only a staticmesh or does it has something else? What is BumperMeachnism? Also, make sure that in the collisions in both the ball and the bumper, “Generate Overlap Events” are checked.
