Overriding existing TakeDamage() Function?

[samuelthomson]

Hello, I wanted to check something about the creation of our own TakeDamage() function.

AActor already has a TakeDamage() function:

AActor::TakeDamage

But are we able to create our own here (without having to use “virtual” and “override”) because we’re extending a UActorComponent and this has no inheritance from AActor?

Correct. It’s a brand new function that is being used to add to the OnTakeDamage delegate (I only thought about the next section when answering your previous question ).
