Hi! I am having difficulty using a delegate.

There are two classes with a common parent.

Delegate variables are declared in their parents.

One child (Class A) is binding with AddUObject.

Another Child (Class B) call the Broadcast.

At this time, can Class A listen to Class B’s broadcast?

Thank you 🥲

Hi, yes Class A can listen to Class B broadcast. But it needs to bind to Class B’s delegate not to it’s own. So in Class A you need to do something like:  
ClassBReference-\>YourDelegate-\>AddUObject()
