Casting example

ueCast

proc MoveToLocation(actor: AActorPtr, location: FVector) =
  var hitResult: FHitResult
  discard actor.setActorLocation(location, false, hitResult, false)
  let rootComponent = actor.getRootComponent()
  # Cast the rootComponent to UPrimitiveComponent
  let primitiveComponent = ueCast[UPrimitiveComponent](rootComponent)
  # If cast fails it returns nil pointer
  if primitiveComponent.isNil: return
  primitiveComponent.setPhysicsLinearVelocity(makeFVector(100,0,0))

Other options

Possibly there are other ways to cast:

• tryUECast - func tryUECast*[T : UObject](obj:UObjectPtr) : Option[ptr T] - wraps the cast pointer in Option[ptr T]
• tryCast - func tryCast*[T: SomePointer](pntr: SomePointer): Option[T]
