I want to achieve this:
And then have this
To call the function on the component.
However, this currently calls
AShip::GetActorLocation()instead ofUShipLuaComponent::GetActorLocation().This seems to be by design.
The downside is that the owning component now needs to declare Lua-compatible functions, leading to tight coupling.
With the suggested change, the user can instead use
FunctionOfObject:And have the function called on the component instead of the owner. This change is backward-compatible.
