GetOverlappingComponents is empty

I have configured an actor to be overlapped.
Here the code:

MeshComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("MeshComp"));
MeshComp->SetCollisionEnabled(ECollisionEnabled::NoCollision);
RootComponent = MeshComp;

	SphereComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(TEXT("SphereComp"));
	SphereComp->SetCollisionEnabled(ECollisionEnabled::QueryOnly);
	SphereComp->SetCollisionResponseToAllChannels(ECR_Ignore);
	SphereComp->SetCollisionResponseToChannel(ECC_Pawn, ECR_Overlap);
	SphereComp->SetupAttachment(MeshComp);

In the Tick method I call the GetOverlappingComponents to get the components that overlap but it always return an empty array.
The tick method code:

void ASphereDestroyer::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
	TArray< UPrimitiveComponent *> Components;
	SphereComp->GetOverlappingComponents(Components);
	if (GEngine) {
		if (Components.Num() > 0)
			GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 15.0f, FColor::Yellow, FString::FromInt(Components.Num()));
	}
}

I use the DebugMessage for testing purpose and it doesn’t show on screen.
Both the actors have the Generate Overlap Events set to true.

Hey, maybe there is something wrong with getting “UPrimitiveComponent” try using “AActor” instead.
line 4 at the 2nd code.
You can also try using “GetOverlappingActors” instead of “GetOverlappingComponents” depends on what kind of object you want in your overlap to appear.
