Unable to find custom event in a different blueprint

[BennehR]

Im following this tutorial: https://www./watch?v=xu1a9jFZc7g

Im trying to call a custom event in a blueprint, with a second blueprint on a different object. According to the tutorial i should be able to just type in the name and the search will give me the correct node, but typing in the name i get nothing.

Ive attatched a screenshot to show both blueprints, the one on the right is my door, with the custom event which will open it, the left blueprint is the lever that i want to use to activate it, its all set up i just cant link the two. The left window for the lever shows the search results empty,and the names are identical, ive tried with and without spaces, capitals are correct, what am i missing?

Ive also checked the documentation https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Blueprints/UserGuide/Events/Custom/index.html and it doesnt mention this

Hey

Have you tried searching for your custom event without the ‘context sensitive’ box being checked?

Cheers!

Oh that made it appear, is there a reason for this? i tried all kinds of combinations for this.

I added it and hooked it up but it error’d when compiling

Error This blueprint (self) is not a TestLeverDoor_C, therefore ’ Target ’ must have a connection.

EDIT:

hold on, think i got it, i had some nodes in the wrong script, ill see if i can get this working…

EDIT 2:

got it, had the nodes in the wrong window, got it all hooked up and working! thank you

I cant mark your comment as the answer though

Hey,

Not all of the nodes show up when context sensitive is turned on. It’s basically set up that way so that you’re able to see which functions are typically used for that specific input or output. But when you take the context sensitivity off, you’re able to search for basically anything that could be called within the blueprint.

I’m glad you’ve been able to get your blueprint working the way you intended it to. If you have any further questions regarding this specific topic, please reply back and I’ll assist you further.

Thanks!
