What precautions can you take when referring to Actors from custom-made non-spawnable Objects? As I understand things, a crash can take place under some conditions but it's not clear how and when this can happen.

P.S: I could just use Actors in all cases but, with the LinkedList I made a while back, this comes accross as excessive.

A crash will happen if an actor is somehow still referenced by an object after a map change or after the actor has been destroyed. There shouldn't be any problems as long as the object's actor reference is cleaned up when the actor is destroyed.

Ok. So, ideally, I need to place a call in Actor that sends a message to the Object when the Actor is destroyed.

What if an Object is referring to an Actor that can't be modified (like a Pawn)? Would there be a way to get round this?
