Sphere1 = CreateDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(this, TEXT("Sphere1"));

why doo whe need this here?

  1. USceneComponent::SetupAttachment | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation

  2. TEXT Properties | Unreal Engine Documentation

  3. THIS is a pointer: The this pointer - cppreference.com

  4. OtherActor is a reference to another class.
    IF it is Not Equal To some Pointer → do something.
