About ensure

Hello every one!
I want to ask why do we use the following construction : if (!ensure(TriggerVolume != nullptr)) return;
instead of that: if(TriggerVolume = nullptr) return; ?
Thanks!

You can certainty just do a plain if (TriggerVolume == nullptr) if that’s how you want it.

However there are some differences. ensure causes UE to do its own thing and there are three types of ensure.

The most simple one used here "Verifies the expression and if it fails generates a callstack leading to that point. "

The non-use of ensure doesn’t do that by itself.
