Static Mesh Player component won't move when added by CreateDefaultSubobject

[anonymous_user_a6092ea3]

In 4.8, I had a static mesh as a component on the player character via:

SM_MyMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("MyMesh"));

It attached and moved with the player correctly. However, upgrading to 4.9, the static mesh no longer moves and just stays at the player start location. I’ve tried:

SM_MyMesh ->SetMobility(EComponentMobility::Movable);
SM_MyMesh ->bAutoActivate = true;
SM_MyMesh ->PrimaryComponentTick.bCanEverTick = true;

under the guess that the new tick functionality broke things? What is the correct way to attach a static mesh component to the player in 4.9 such that is moves with the player? Am I missing something. Attaching via blueprint works fine, but I want to have the component accessible via code.

I’m not sure what the issue was, but I recreated the blueprint for my player character, and the static mesh component works now like it did before in 4.8. As far as I know it is an exact copy of the original blueprint, but for some reason the old blueprint was corrupted, and a freshly created one in 4.9 works fine.
