Before you paste1

• Overlap volumeBox Collision on this actor

  Add a Box Collision component and size it to the area. Its default OverlapAllDynamic preset already reports overlaps.

Good to know. "Back" means behind the character, not away from the pad: a character that walks onto it backwards is thrown forward.

How it works

1. Step 1: 1Something touches the padEvent ActorBeginOverlap casts the other actor to Character. Anything that isn't a Character is ignored.
2. Step 2: 2Work out the pushThe character's forward vector × −800 points backwards, its up vector × 400 points up, and + adds the two.
3. Step 3: 3LaunchLaunch Character adds that velocity to the character.
