Rotate an object but it can be stopped by an object

I would like to rotate a fan blade and have the blade be able to be stopped when an object is put in front of it to block the rotating motion. The Rotating Movement Component doesn’t respect collision so that won’t work. I have tried to get a blueprint working for this but it isn’t working. What do you recommend?

Next to the fan blade, put a Box collision and when another object enters that Collision, you will stop the fan movement.

(You dont need the == if you want every object to be able to stop the fan when they get close)

Thanks! What is the Stop Fan function? How does saying Stop Fan stop the fan?

Sorry for the confusion and late answer, the “Stop Fan” is where you put the logic to stop the fan
