Event ActorBeginOverlap

Event when this actor overlaps another actor, for example a player walking into a trigger. For events when objects have a blocking collision, for example a player hitting a wall, see 'Hit' events. Note: Components on both this and the other Actor must have bGenerateOverlapEvents set to true to generate overlap events.

Target is Actor

Event ActorEndOverlap

Event when an actor no longer overlaps another actor, and they have separated. Note: Components on both this and the other Actor must have bGenerateOverlapEvents set to true to generate overlap events.

Target is Actor

Event Hit

Event when this actor bumps into a blocking object, or blocks another actor that bumps into it. This could happen due to things like Character movement, using Set Location with 'sweep' enabled, or physics simulation. For events when objects overlap (e.g. walking into a trigger) see the 'Overlap' event.

Note: For collisions during physics simulation to generate hit events, 'Simulation Generates Hit Events' must be enabled. Note: When receiving a hit from another object's movement (bSelfMoved is false), the directions of 'Hit.Normal' and 'Hit.ImpactNormal' will be adjusted to indicate force from the other object against this object. Note: NormalImpulse will be filled in for physics-simulating bodies, but will be zero for swept-component blocking collisions.
