Hey Guys
I am trying to make a item pickup for my character i have created the socket and the blueprint works but i want it to only be picked up when i am in the trigger area and then press my pickup input key.
what should i be doing. here is my current blueprint
thank you
Simply check the overlapping actor by apply a specific tag to you character, as suggested in this answer.
you must use Enable/Disable Input node in your blueprint :
as you can see after Enable Input F key node will work 
maybe u want to use the tick note, maybe not, but i add the solution here too
this is the stick bp , no code in the player bp
if you do this in the player bp i would recommend you to either use 1 main “Weapon” bp and many childs (so you just have to filter for the main bp when overlapping, it detects all) or you read some topics about interfaces 
Zelda Breath of the Wild: Pickup Weapon, Litting Torches And drive level events in UnrealEngine 4 - YouTube you can watch here if you want to , i made some tutorial about picking up a weapon
