In your “Example 5 - Burning Man”, you override the “calculate damage for actor function” and set the target mannequin’s “damaged by ability” variable to the ability.
Is there a way to do this for an unknown target actor? Or is it just easier to make children of a single parent actor or something similar?

You could make an interface or some such for the actor. In my projects I tend to have a base class that all my enemies / players inherit from (MyGameCharacter) which has some basic fields and such (Tags, OnHit calls, etc). You could do something similar.
