While looking through the header of USceneComponent, I noticed SpriteComponent doesn’t have a UPROPERTY associated with it. Is this a mistake? From what I understand, doesn’t this mean that SpriteComponent won’t be tracked and is subject to be garbage collected at any given time? I’m wondering if I’m missing something.
Components are tracked by the owning Actor they don’t really need UPROPERTY.
Ah yea you’re right. From the owning actor, I was able to go through RootComponent and traverse the AttachChildren arrays to find the sprite component, and both of those variable are tracked with UPROPERTY. Makes sense that the variable I asked about wouldn’t need it. Thanks!
