Hey Friendly Seal,

You can just type “Cast to (Type you want to cast to)”

And it should show up.

I’m guessing you need to get a reference right?

You can either ‘trace’ with line, sphere, box, capsule traces or you can use the get all actors of class function. Get all actors of class is mainly for prototyping since it can be kinda heavy so saving a reference when the pawn is spawned would be the ideal way to save it.

I’m on mobile right now so lmk if you need screenshots.
