Player control in a separate component.

Hello. I moved all the character control logic into a separate component. In this component I have two methods.

AController* GetController() const { return  Cast<APawn>(GetOwner())->GetController(); };
	APawn* GetPawn() const { return  Cast<APawn>(GetOwner()); }

They are called when I move.

void UFPInputHandlerComponent::Move(const FInputActionValue& Value)
{
	const FVector2D MovementVector = Value.Get<FVector2D>();
	
	const FRotator Rotation = GetController()->GetControlRotation();
	const FRotator YawRotation(0.0f, Rotation.Yaw, 0.0f);

	const FVector ForwardDirection = FRotationMatrix(YawRotation).GetUnitAxis(EAxis::X);
	const FVector RightDirection = FRotationMatrix(YawRotation).GetUnitAxis(EAxis::Y);

	GetPawn()->AddMovementInput(ForwardDirection, MovementVector.Y);
	GetPawn()->AddMovementInput(RightDirection, MovementVector.X);
}

I have two questions:

  1. How expedient is it to move the movement logic into a separate component?
  2. How expensive is it to cast literally every frame when I move?
