Unreal Engine crashes if using GetAcceptableActor() directly

[gold_io]

When checking if we got an acceptable actor I inadvertently bypassed a step and simply wrote

if (GetAcceptableActor() != nullptr) {
Mover->SetShouldMove(true)
}

As opposed to first creating a new pointer:
AActor* Actor = GetAcceptableActor();
and using that to check if its a nullptr

This ended up crashing unreal until I was able to figure out where my code differed, but I’m curious why this is? As I read through the code I see GetAcceptableActor() returning AActor* Actor, but clearly this is not what is actually being returned

I think there’s more to this, if you revert back to what you had do you still crash? If so with what crash report?
