How to override the functions in a component attached to a player character?

As far as I know, if the component is created in C++ and it has blueprint native/implementable events you can override the event functions in a blueprint class that inherits the C++ class as a parent. Otherwise you can’t override C++ functions in blueprints directly.

I can say the same.

The desired functionality would be (just an imaginary example):
I create a bp based in actor-component: “HealthComp”, where I have a float with the value for health and a function to set it, Increase or Decrease it, etc.
I create a “bp_soldier”, add the component Health.
I create a “bp_dragon”, add the component Health.

Soldier would do a different thing than Dragon when they DecreaseHealth, so they would override DecreaseHealth.

Its possible to do it with dispatcher but in my opinion it is not elegant.

The only alternative I found was to use 2 components to be parent-child, which I think is even worse, so I would have:
HealthDefaultComp
HealthComp (inheriting from HealthDefaultComp)

Soldier and Dragon would implement “HealthComp”
