Casting vs Interfaces which is faster in terms of engine overhead?

Hi! “Casting” and “Interfaces” are very different things, but I don’t think using any of both features affects performance in any way because they are very basic operations, like getting a reference from an instance. You can look similar thread here: https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/blueprint-visual-scripting/41578-interfaces-vs-casting-have-a-bit-of-confusion .

And if you need more theory behind Interfaces as a programming language feature take a look at C# interfaces, or Delphi Interfaces to have better understanding how and when to use them.

Great thank you!

So lets say I want to eliminate the level BP altogether … how would I deal with standalone triggers and actors? There doesn’t seem to be a way to create an “onactorbeginoverlap” inside the node graph of a Pawn Class BP or even a reference to a standalone trigger or object.

I was thinking of putting all triggers on their own BP so then it would be easy to cast in between them and other BPies but I don’t know if that would be overkill or not.

Or is it common practice to still use the level BP in cases like that?
