Usage
Usage
Using the Easy Directional Box is as simple as adding any other component.
On your actor, add a new component with the Add button. You may search for the Directional Box Component or scroll to Collision components and select it there to add it to your actor.
You can override the two new Overlap Events by adding them to your blueprint graph via the Events section of the component
Overlap Events return the EBoxDirection enum that corresponds to the side of the box that was entered or exited. This will always be in respect to the orientation of the component meaning the "Front" side will always be the world space forward vector of the component.
