Why can't I put a box trigger in the component section of my blueprint?

Hi!

You can create blueprint with mesh and add several Shape component. If you add events for all this shapes, you get several custom trigger volumes.
If you need comunicate your blueprint with Level Blueprint or other blueprints in project, read this docs
