Collison with pillar not working

[BrothaBlack]

when i add the BP_MovingPlatform class to my level scene i just walk right through it when i approach the pillar . I dont understand why this is happening . I actually got further along in this project but when i reopened UE5 i couldnt walk or interact with the platform. attached is my code below

MovingPlatform.h

So you can always walk through it? In the top left of the viewport could you change the visibility of your viewport from “Lit” to “Player Collision” and show that?

I checked and the collision around the BP_Moving Platform is completely destroyed it wasnt like this when i reopened Unreal Engine 5 is that a bug ?

If you open the mesh for the platform inside Unreal, you should be able to check the collision to ensure it is there. Have a look and see what is there. You may need to add collision.
