RootComponent = CapsuleComp; Why does this compile?

[HanZolo]

I have a question regarding the line mentioned in the title:
How exactly can this compile since CapsuleComp is of type UCapsuleComponent and RootComponent is of type USceneComponent ?

I even had VS warning me about this with red squiggly lines, yet when I pressed compile in the UE Editor, the lines disappeared and it compiled just fine.

I’m confused. Thanks

UCapsuleComponent is derived from USceneComponent

Oh, should have figured this out myself. Sorry for the inconvenience.
