I am trying to log the name of an actor when it is hit with a raycast. I just can’t seem to get it to work. The engine crashes when the following code is executed.

FHitResult* Hit = new FHitResult();

float RayLength = 5000;

FVector StartLocation = CameraComponent->GetComponentLocation();

FVector EndLocation = StartLocation + (CameraComponent->GetForwardVector() * RayLength);

FCollisionQueryParams CollisionParameters;

ActorLineTraceSingle(*Hit, StartLocation, EndLocation, ECollisionChannel::ECC_WorldDynamic, CollisionParameters);
	
if (Hit != NULL) {
	UE_LOG(MyLog, Log, TEXT("You hit: %s"), *Hit->GetActor()->GetName()); // This line causes the crash
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Remove the * before Hit:

Hit->GetActor()->GetName()

Or write it as:

(*Hit).GetActor()->GetName()
