This plugin functions in a service locator pattern for AActors with some benefits:

  • Decoupling: Removes hard dependencies between AActors.
  • Flexibility: Easy to add/remove AActors from reference groups at runtime.
  • Scalability: Can handle many AActors of the same type without performance issues.
  • Blueprint Integration: Fully accessible from Blueprint for designers.

Utilzing this pattern allows for developers to reference collections of typed objects safely without any direct knowledge of them at author-time.
