Quick simple example of how to use BindRaw to bind to a delegate created in another class
Event Dispatchers are great to communicate between components. In this example the event dispatcher updates the player's health bar.
Just like Event Dispatchers, delegates are a great way to communicate with different actors and classes throughout the program.
Timelines are extremely useful throughout game development and provide a lot of utility in Unreal.
