From what i see there, I would say that you are trying to get the tags of a component, but instead of been executed over a component it executes over an object class
Maybey if you add the timeline to the actor instead of the component and create a reference to it, you should be able to work with the timeline as normaly from the comp
Yes, that sure works in that way. But the point of making a component is not having to repeat code for different actors.
In fact, if the actor does know anything about the component and the component does know anything about the actor then it’s the perfect combo (it’s my point of view). So the less dependencies they have between the two, is better.
