Unreal Engine interaction - Overlap with the pawn tutorial

#unrealengine #tutorial
This time we take a look at how to we can use the player controlled pawn to detect the actors around it. We do this with an overlap volume and any time one of the bouncing ball actors overlaps our volume we trigger the jump logic

It would be nice if you could show this but with Blueprint Interfaces instead of using a Cast

Thanks for the feedback! I'll add this to my list of subjects that I want to cover!

You can make the overlap sphere visible by checking the box for hidden in game to off

That's really good advice! Thanks for pointing it out

What if I have a second collision for an actor? I only want the third person character to interact with the second collision, but using this method, the character interacts with the first collision as well as the second collision? How can I tell it to ignore the first and only generate an overlap event when the second collision appears?

You can probably do this using the collision channels and collision profiles. That is if you go into the attribute panel where you customize your collision you should be able to select something like WorldStatic or WorldDynamic. There you also have an option called pawn. So maybe a solution to your problem might be to have one collision answer the pawn collision profile and another answer to world Dynamic. You can also dive deeper into this by exploring the custom profile which lets you manually set the channels Hope it helps!
