Event Assistance

Okay, So I’ve got what I think is a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

I’m learning by making simple tasks on how to use NodeCanvas.

Objective: Hit a Target with a Projectile that will Trigger a Door to Open.
I have 3 Objects. a Door, a Target, and a Ball (projectile).
When the Ball Hits the Target, It should Trigger the Door to open.

When the Ball and Target interact, Messages work fine, but I can’t send an event to the associated Door.
If I set the Message to Global, it works, but since I’ll have multiple doors/targets and don’t want them all to open each time any target is hit.

What is the best practice for achieving something like this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Does your Door object also have a GraphOwner component (BehaviourTreeOwner, FSMOwner)?
If so, you can explicitely select the object to receive the event of a SendEvent action, by overriding the agent at the top where it reads “Self”:

Doing the above, will send the event to the specified object only.
Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks.
