Dynamic Reference Component

Base:

UActorComponent

Type:

UNDynamicRefComponent

Header File:

NexusDynamicRefs/Public/NDynamicRefComponent.h

A component which registers and unregisters the owning AActor with the UNDynamicRefSubsystem for future lookup.

Registration

The component has settings for when the AActor is registered with the UNDynamicRefSubsystem and for when it is unregistered. These correspond to different states of the lifecycle of the component, allowing for some other logic to occur before the AActor is referenceable, for example.

Link Phase

Utilizes a ENActorComponentLifecycleStart enumeration to determine when to register.

Setting	Display	Behaviour
BeginPlay	Begin Play	Triggers registration during the components BeginPlay() call.
InitializeComponent	Initialize Component	Triggers registration during the components InitializeComponent() call.

Break Phase

Utilizes a ENActorComponentLifecycleEnd enumeration to determine when to unregister.

Setting	Display	Behaviour
EndPlay	End Play	Triggers unregistering during the components EndPlay() call.
UninitializeComponent	Uninitialize Component	Triggers unregistering during the components UninitializeComponent() call.
