Created Damage Type object automatically garbage collected, right?

@Auran131

but as an alternative i just prefer to create my own systems. i use ActorComponents instead of the DamageEvent, Data assets instead of Tables.

you could even have all your damage types directly inside the AC and use an Enum to switch.
but all methods work

Yeah I agree, I usually prefer to write my own systems too. I also love data assets, I have a growing number of systems with their own PDAs. The way I use DTs right now, is very similar to data assets (1 parent and many children that only edit class defaults.) This makes it fast to access functions/data without switches or anything.

The only reason I was hesitant on creating my own damage event calls, is I figured the native UE ApplyRadialDamage function for area damage would be faster and cleaner than something I would make.
