I’m sorry, I really don’t understand the question. I can’t find when exactly in the video you are referring to and I’m relay at a loss about the context.
About weather you can get more information from the variable… Yes you can. What you can access depends on what is exposed in the C++ code. If you wonder about the Pawn class, you can get from it everything that is exposed to blueprint, plus everything that is exposed in all its parent classes (actor and object)
If you want to know all methods and variables specific for the Pawn class, check the C++ reference:
Keep in mid that not all is accessible in blueprint.
