AMIPBasePlayerController

File: Public/GameFramework/MIPBasePlayerController.h Base: APlayerController → IMIPCommonComponentsInterface, IAbilitySystemInterface, ICharacterClassTagInterface, IGameplayTagAssetInterface

The PlayerController is the central hub that owns 45+ components covering every player system — inventory, save/load, interaction, UI, quest, social, combat, and more. All systems access components through IMIPCommonComponentsInterface rather than casting directly.
