ULimenSnapAnchorComponent

Overview

ULimenSnapAnchorComponent is a custom component derived from UArrowComponent. It provides functionality for attaching actors to anchor points, managing the attachment state, and broadcasting events when anchors are added or removed. This component can be spawned in Blueprints and used to control the positioning and attachment of actors within the game world.

Properties

Type	Name	Access	Description
`FName`	TargetAnchorId	EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "Anchor"	The ID of the target anchor point.
`TWeakObjectPtr<AActor>`	AnchorTargetActor	EditAnywhere, Category = "Debug"	The actor to which the component will attempt to attach when using debug functions.
`bool`	bAttach	EditAnywhere, Category = "Debug"	Whether to attach the owner to the anchor point during debugging.
`TWeakObjectPtr<ULimenAnchorPointComponent>`	CurrentAnchor	BlueprintReadOnly, meta=(AllowPrivateAccess=true)	The current anchor point that the component is attached to.

Functions

Return Type	Signature	Description
`ULimenSnapAnchorComponent*`	GetAnchorByTargetId(const AActor* InActor, const FName& TargetId)	Retrieves a `ULimenSnapAnchorComponent` by its target ID from the given actor.
`void`	AnchorTo(ULimenAnchorPointComponent* InTarget, bool bAttachToAnchor = true)	Anchors the component to the specified anchor point.
`void`	AnchorToActor(AActor* InTarget, FName AnchorId, bool bAttachToAnchor = true)	Anchors the component to an actor's anchor point with the given ID.
`void`	RemoveCurrentAnchor(bool bDetachFromAnchor = true)	Removes the current anchor from the component.
`const FName&`	GetTargetAnchorId() const	Returns the target anchor ID of the component.
`ULimenAnchorPointComponent*`	GetCurrentAnchor() const	Retrieves the current anchor point that the component is attached to.

Usage & Implementation Notes

Threading Constraints: This component does not have any specific threading constraints.
Replication Requirements: None.
Memory Lifetime Management: The component uses TWeakObjectPtr for managing weak references to actors and components, which helps in avoiding memory leaks by automatically invalidating pointers when the objects are destroyed.
Initialization Dependencies: The component initializes its properties through the constructor.
