Exposing Component Events to parent Actor

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

Is there a way to set events that belong to a component from the actor BP? Similar to how one would call a Sphere Collision OnOverlap event from the actor BP, indicated in the component’s Events category in the Details Panel.

Thanks

In the parent actor get a reference to the component and call the event directly.

Not quite that. If I do that, then I won’t be able to set the event’s functionality directly on the Graph of the Actor’s BP.

I figured it out after playing around.

Create an Event Dispatcher in the Comp. Have it be called by an event.

The event can then be set in the parent comp, so that extra functionality can be inputted in the Actor graph.
