Using return bool form LineTraceSingleByObjectType()

[RedSandman]

Hi, I used the bool return value from the function LineTraceSingleByObjectType() to test whether I had a valid Actor in the FHitResult. Is this overkill or not?

void UGrabber::TickComponent(float DeltaTime, ELevelTick TickType, FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction)
{
	Super::TickComponent(DeltaTime, TickType, ThisTickFunction);
	
	FVector Location;
	FRotator Rotation;

	GetOwner()->GetActorEyesViewPoint(OUT Location, OUT Rotation);
	FVector LineTraceEnd = Location + (Rotation.Vector() * Reach);

	DrawDebugLine(GetWorld(), Location, LineTraceEnd, FColor(255,0,0), false, -1.0f, '\000', 8.0f);

	FCollisionQueryParams TraceParams(FName(TEXT("")), false, GetOwner());
	FHitResult Hit;
	bool bHit = GetWorld()->LineTraceSingleByObjectType(
		OUT Hit, 
		Location, 
		LineTraceEnd, 
		FCollisionObjectQueryParams(ECollisionChannel::ECC_PhysicsBody),
		TraceParams
		);

	AActor* ActorHit = Hit.GetActor();
	if (bHit && ActorHit)
	{
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Hit Actor: %s"), *(ActorHit->GetName()));
	}
}

I don’t think that is would be possible to have an actor hit but not return true. I know the alternative is possible (successful hit but no actor) as someone in the community has experienced that.
