Can I use TakeDamage() with OnOverlapBegin()?

TakeDamage() requires giving FPointDamageEvent and FPointDamageEvent requires giving FHitResult, but OnOverlapBegin() doesn’t generates one. So how am I supposed to Use TakeDamage() with OnOverlapBegin()?

When using On Component Begin Overlap instead, with a collision component, you are returned the following:

Maybe you can use a collision component instead of the On Overlap Begin of the actor itself to get the data you need?

@Antoniusz2115 here you have a working implementation in c++

in header

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = AIConfig, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))		
		TSubclassOf<UDamageType> DmgeEvent;

in cpp (ofc bind your overlap with profile name and generate overlap events = true)

// don't forget to include #include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h" in cpp

void YOURCHARACTER::BeginOverlap(UPrimitiveComponent* HitComp, AActor* HitActor, UPrimitiveComponent* otherActorComp, int32 otherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResults) {
	if (DmgeEvent != nullptr) {							
		UGameplayStatics::ApplyDamage(HitActor, 10, HitActor->GetInstigatorController(), this, DmgeEvent);
	}
}

Where 10 is the amount dealt
