Situation goes like this:
I have an actor component called UBuffComponent. It holds pointers to UBuff objects derived from UObject. UBuff on construction creates it’s own component UStatsComponent. I expect to be able to add BuffComponent to an actor and then add Buffs to it, each containing it’s own stats component. What actually happens is that those UStatComponents for some reason get registered with whatever actor holds UBuffComponent and remain even when Buff itself is erased (and after ading and removing few buffs everything crashes). Can anyone tell me what an I doing wrong here?
My code goes like this:
UBuffComponent.h
UCLASS(Blueprintable, editinlinenew, BlueprintType, ClassGroup = (Custom), meta = (BlueprintSpawnableComponent))
class TWINSTICK_API UBuffComponent : public UActorComponent
{

UBuffComponent();

// Called every frame
virtual void TickComponent( float DeltaTime, ELevelTick TickType, FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction ) override;
protected:
/**

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Instanced, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Container")
TArray<class UBuff*> Buffs;
UBuffComponent.cpp
// Sets default values for this component's properties
