LineTrace without if statement working properly?

#1

When doing the challenge I wrote my line trace like this:

	FHitResult ThingShot;
	GetWorld()->LineTraceSingleByChannel(ThingShot, Location, End, ECC_GameTraceChannel1);
	
	DrawDebugPoint(GetWorld(), ThingShot.Location, 20, FColor::Red, true);

The answer in the video is slightly different then this as it uses an if statement to only use the drawdebug when you get a hit, but when testing in unreal my version seems to be functionally the same. Red square appears when I shoot a wall, but doesn’t when I stand to far away from the wall.

So my question is can I leave it like this? Or is that likely going to make problems later down the line?
