The Target Actor Target Type is an array of the Target Actors of an Ability. This Target Type can be populated in a number of ways, the most common is using the Targeting logic in the Ability. However, you can also populate it during Ability execution using the Collision Query / Sweep / Raycast tasks and selecting the "Copy to Context" option. That information is then available to the Context the frame after the Task completes and is Async safe. If the Ability doesn't require targets, then this array is simply empty.
Camera
The Camera Target Type references the current camera of the Self target type. It is mainly used to by location based Task properties to get the Camera transform. Setting the Target of a Task (for example, Apply Damage) to Camera will simply return the Self Actor.
