Question about "bCanBeDamaged"

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

The question is simple.
Should i use this boolean to decide if an actor can take damage from my custom “weapon system”?
or i should implement my own properties that determines if i can “destroy” an actor.

I’m concerned that this parameter could be used for other specific things and then generate conflicts or problems if set it to true or false.

Basically I access

Impact.GetActor()->bCanBeDamaged

to determine if I can damage an object or not

Thanks

Yes, you should use this boolean. This is part of a gaming framework and has functions and events that you can use to build it.

Keeping this variable as true you will able to call some special events (e.g. ReceiveDamage()).
