Text render not showing up after trigger box is triggered

Development Rendering

I have a simple script that makes a text render show up if the player is inside the trigger box, but this does not work. The render text never shows up, even if i set the visibility to true it only shows on the editor.

The trigger box is working, i already tested, the only problem is the text render itself.

Does the Actor Begin Overlap trigger? Print String to check.

3

Yes, i already tested.

4

Can you get to the node with break points?

5

Yes, the flow is correct

6

So the render text is invisible even if it starts Visible in the editor?

Perhaps you flagged it as Hidden in Game at some point - these two work separately? Or thatā€™s a no, too?

7

Yeah, it remain invisible even if starts visible in the editor. Itā€™s not hidden in game, already checked that. These two work together, i put both triggerbox and render text to be visible, but they donā€™t appear. You can see that in my second screenshot. I tried everything already, i dont know what to do anymore, maybe its a bug?

Did you try using an actor blueprint with an OnOverlap script?

its a bug?

Who knows, might be.

As a test - could you set the scale of every (including the text render) component in that actor to 1? Grasping at straws here :slight_smile:

Make sure ā€œOnly Owner Seeā€ is uncheked.

Edit: if that doesnā€™t work, recreate the BP and see if it happens again.

11

No, how can i achieve that?

12

i tried that now, but did not work :confused:

13

Itā€™s unchecked, i will try to recreate my BP now.

14

iā€™ve just recreated my BP, does not work :frowning:

I think I found the problem. The problem is that the parent of the bp is a trigger box, which is hidden by default. So, go to the class default and uncheck ā€œActor hidden in gameā€. Now everything should be visible, the box, the sprite and the text.
So now, scale the billboard to 0 (you will lose the button sprite - if you change itā€™s visibility in code, thereā€™s a warning about it, so donā€™t) and change the visibility of the box.

Next time, start with an empty actor and add the components you want. Better control and less problems.

ā€˜Hidden in gameā€™ itā€™s already uncheked in the parent class. But i think you are right, i will restart this BP using a empty actor instead of a trigger box. I was testing here and this BP works if created from a Static mesh that is in the scene. Thank you for the help!

I created a empty actor as you mentioned and it worked. Could you write a answer so i can accept it? Thank you so much again.
