:rofl:
i have noticed that

ApplyDamage

function of AActor takes one particular param as

DamageTypeClass

here is the full signature below:

static ENGINE_API float ApplyDamage(AActor* DamagedActor, float BaseDamage, AController* EventInstigator, AActor* DamageCauser, TSubclassOf<class UDamageType> DamageTypeClass);

now i want to read the values defined in the param DamageTypeClass, treat it as an object, is that possible? or is there any normal way i can get the values of that class, even more, is this a recommend practice?

here is my custom DamageType which hold data i want to read out

class X2_API UX2DamageType : public UDamageType
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	FString Name;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	TObjectPtr<UTexture2D> Icon;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	TEnumAsByte<EX2DamageEvent> Event;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	TObjectPtr<USoundWave> HitSound;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	TObjectPtr<UParticleSystem> HitParticle;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	float Duration;

	/**
	 * if this damage is a dot
	 */
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Variable, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess))
	float DotInterval;
};

it turns out that on the damage event, the param is object of DamageType*

DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_SPARSE_DELEGATE_FiveParams( FTakeAnyDamageSignature, AActor, OnTakeAnyDamage, AActor*, DamagedActor, float, Damage, const class UDamageType*, DamageType, class AController*, InstigatedBy, AActor*, DamageCauser );

my bad
