The only way I know of to do what you want is through casting.

However, one thing you could try (depending on what functionality the child actor is supposed to have) is on BeginPlay you could cast to BP-B and promote it to a variable (of BP-B) and then just reference that variable whenever you want to set something for the child actor.

This method, however, means that (I think) the variable won’t actually be the child actor component that is in the component tab of BP-A, but it’s own thing. So if whatever you are using the child actor for can be done through the variable rather than on the child actor itself, this method could be of use. If you need to set variables on the child actor component itself this method will not work.

For reference, I previously used this method (though it is no longer needed) to set a variable on my character based on a BP. I didn’t want to place the BP in the world, however, so to reference it I added it as a child component on my character, and then used that to cast to the corresponding BP and set the variable on the character that way. Not the prettiest method, but it worked.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I am just going to use the casting.
