If a funciton is passed an Object reference, is there any simple check to see if that object is an actor or not?

If I'm going to call the Delete() function, I want to make sure I'm not erasing an NPC from the game. I could cast the Objectreference to Actor then try to call a function that only a "real" actor could do, but are there any "Safe" functions that would determine if it's an actor or, say, a weapon that's sitting on the ground?

If you try to cast it to type Actor, and it's not an Actor, the result of the cast will be None, so this should work:

if (MyObjectReference as Actor)	; MyObjectReference is an Actorelse	; MyObjectReference is not an Actorendif

EDIT:

If you want to check the type of the base object, try something like this:

if (MyObjectReference.GetBaseObject() as Weapon)	; MyObjectReference is a Weaponelse	; MyObjectReference is not a Weaponendif
