Thanks for the reply, @Shohei,
However, I am still unable to find any kind of CreateComponent-type node that allows for a class to be passed through. Do you know the exact name of this node? I’ve searched through the possible blueprint actions with context sensitive unchecked and nothing shows up. Also, there is no AddComponent node that allows the user to pass in a component reference.
The only close thing I found would be “Construct Object from class”. This gives me a ActorComponent reference, but I get a build error saying "Wrong class to spawn ‘/Script/Engine.ActorComponent’
