I am new to Unreal and playing around with creating simple events/component events.
I want to kick this static mesh sphere into the object and destroy the object upon impact.
I set this up and it works when I cast to third person character. But when I switch it out to the BP_ball, nada.
This is the BP_ball for that sphere i want to use to destroy the object.
Is my problem the collision properties of the sphere?
Thanks for any advice.
Have you attempted to follow the execution with a breakpoint? (right click on any node in the execution and toggle a breakpoint) This could help you identify if it is in fact a collision issue.
Thanks for the reference. My first time using a break point. What a great resource.
it’s definitely the ball. And it works fine with the “cast to character”.
any ideas?
I tried adding a capsule to my sphere static mesh. Still no luck.
In the ball blueprint, select the sphere and enable “Simulation Generates Hit Events” in the Collision section
It needs to be enabled on the component that simulates physics. From the above screenshot I would assume the BallMesh is the one simulating physics. Is it enabled on BallMesh?
yes it is. It also works if i cast to the first person gun projectile,
