Object reference variable is empty at runtime

Why: Your code reads from a '{ref}' reference, but nothing was assigned to it. UE5 doesn't error at compile time, but warns that the runtime access will crash with null-pointer.

Fix: Wherever this BP spawns, set the reference via Spawn Actor From Class → Set Reference. If it should be set from outside, expose the variable (eye-icon = Instance Editable) so it's set in the level editor. Add an Is Valid? Branch before each read to gracefully handle null.
