Actor not updating (when instancing on c++)

anonymous_user_08c2fdfc · September 15, 2015, 12:25pm

My custom actor (containing a few custom UMeshComponent) does not update when I change its location or the visibility of its components.

I instantiate it this way in StartPlay() of my GameMode class:

  MyCustomActor = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<AMyCustomActor>(AMyCustomActor::StaticClass());

Then I set its new location like this:

  MyCustomActor->SetActorLocation(FVector(100,0,0));

Is it because I did not set the Owner? Or what is wrong?

Hey -

I was able to use the two lines of code you posted inside my custom game mode to spawn an actor at the set location. Did you set the GameMode Override to your custom game mode in the editor world settings? Where are you calling your SetActorLocation() from? Can you post the full files for your actor and game mode?

Cheers
