Hi, i have made an custom component and added it to an Actor. But how do i access the BeginCursorOver function from my custom component?

Each AActor has some events you can attach a callback function to. This function will be called when the event occurs.

Here you can find some more details about event handling/delegates:

It boils down to adding a function to your component:

UFUNCTION()
void myBeginCursorOver(AActor* OtherActor);

and register it (in your constructor for example):

OnActorBeginOverlap.AddDynamic(this, &YourClass::myBeginCursorOver);

Don’t forget to activate mouse events in your PlayerController (bEnableMouseOverEvents = true)
