How do I cast to a child actor without knowing the actors's name?

Yes, in principle that might just be the elegant solution that I am looking for. I need to access the ChildComponent’s functions and variables through casting.

In that case, yes, simply casting to the parent BP will work.

e.g… Item_Sword_BP -> cast to Item_Master_BP… Will give you all the variables/functions associated with the parent, but the values that the child has. That way, all you need is a reference to whatever you have equipped, and using that reference you can have any weapon and use the exact same code to get its variables
