If you're looking for a way that isn't string comparison, you could also try cast the overlapping component to an ISDKRigComponent, and call GetHandedness() from it, which will return an enum that you can compare of/select from.&nbsp;

Thank you for the response. Overlapped component is giving me the static mesh on which I have on component begin overlap. But I need Hands.

Are you getting a static mesh or the hand skeletal mesh? In the case of the latter, you could cast it to a&nbsp;UIsdkHandMeshComponent and call&nbsp;GetHandednessFromDataSource()

In my case, I have a sphere in my level. When the user moves his hand into the sphere I need a trigger. That's why I am using on component begin overlap. And overlapped component is giving me static mesh.
