Get custom Actor Component Class from an overlapped actor

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi there,

I have a component class that I am trying to find and access from any overlapping actor - how do I go about this?

OtherComp and OverlappedComp only return comps with colliders.

These are some methods I have tried, but to no avail.




void AFPSStorm::OnBeginComponentOverlap(UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComponent, AActor* OtherActor, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult)
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("WE OVERLAPPED WITH SOMETHING %s"), *OtherActor->GetFName().ToString());

    //UFPSStormComponent* StormComp = Cast<UFPSStormComponent>(OtherComp);
    TSubclassOf<UFPSStormComponent> StormCompClass;
    UFPSStormComponent* StormComp = Cast<UFPSStormComponent>(OtherActor->GetComponentByClass(StormCompClass));

    if (StormComp != nullptr)
    {
        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("STORM FOUND A STORM COMP"));
    }
    else
    {
        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("NO STORM COMP WAS FOUND"));
    }
}

This is how UFPSStormComponent is set up in the header




UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "StormComp")
UFPSStormComponent* StormComp;

And in the constructor




StormComp = CreateDefaultSubobject<UFPSStormComponent>(TEXT("StormComp"));
StormComp->StormEvent.AddDynamic(this, &AFPSCharacter::CharacterStormFunction);

Any pointers on how to access with comp from an overlapped actor would be great =)

Thanks in advance!
