`HasSpouse` Property in Actor Class

Overview

Description

Property Type: bool. The HasSpouse property signifies if the actor is married.
Property Logic: This property checks for the existence of living spouses by calling the Spouses method with the inclusivePassive parameter set to false.

Usage

Example:

if (someActor.HasSpouse) {
    // Execute logic specific to married actors with a living spouse
}

In this example, game logic is conditioned to apply if someActor has a living spouse.

Remarks
