The ValueUserOverride Component allows storing "override" values for each user listed under _overrides and driving the Target field with them.

Usage
Behavior
The _overrides bag contains a list of users and their associated values - whenever the local user matches a user entry in the bag, the associated value is driven to Target. Otherwise, Target is driven to the value in Default.
CreateOverrideOnWrite allows for new users and values to be added to the bag when the driven value in Target is directly or indirectly changed by that user. If it is not enabled, the value in Target is not changeable unless the override is added or changed manually from the inspector panel.
Attempting to write to or otherwise cause a discrete entry to a driven field is known as Hooking it. Any Hook to the Target value is intercepted by the ValueUserOverride Component and will change the modifying user's entry in the _overrides bag. If there is no entry for the user and if CreateOverrideOnWrite is enabled, it will create an entry using the set value.
