Correct, Super() is the UE way of proceeding up the hierarchy.

Super is just a templated parameter that goes up to your parent class.



AMotor(parent) -> AElectricMotor(child)

Calling




virtual void AElectricMotor::DoMotorStuff()
{
   Super::DoMotorStuff();
}

Actually becomes



virtual void AElectricMotor::DoMotorStuff()
{
   AMotor::DoMotorStuff();
}

To the compiler.
