mrooney, I suspect the projectile may be going a little fast, and I can certainly turn on CCD. Is that for the projectile itself?

Forgive me, but I’m mid stream in making changes to my code. Previously I followed along with this walkthrough:

taking parts that were related to me. One area I wanted to get away from is the inclusion and construction of the collision component. Is that possible?

```auto

.h
    UPROPERTY(VisibleDefaultsOnly, Category=Projectile)
    USphereComponent* CollisionComp;

.cpp
        CollisionComp = ObjectInitializer.CreateDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(this, TEXT("SphereComp"));
        CollisionComp->InitSphereRadius(15.0f);
        RootComponent = CollisionComp;

```

Is it possible to assign the collision component in the BP editor, and search for it in code? I’m looking for a way to add my own event handler to the collision component without being tied to a specific type of collision component:

```auto

        CollisionComp->OnComponentHit.AddDynamic(this, &AMyProjectile::OnHit);

```
