Object Collision in UE4

Every game development tool must have a physics engine that simulates collision between multiple objects, as explained in the previous chapter. Collision is the backbone of most games released nowadays, whether 2D or 3D. In many games, it's the main way in which the player acts upon the environment, be it running, jumping, or shooting, and the environment acts accordingly by making the player land, get hit, and so on. It is no understatement to say that, without simulated collision, it wouldn't be possible to make many games at all.

So, let's understand how object collision works in UE4 and the ways in which we can use it, starting with collision components.
