I am following the Unreal Engine tutorial for an endless runner and have started to deviate a little. However, I am having issues with spawning pickups. I have a base segment blueprint that is just walls and floor. Then I make a child bllueprint from this. On this blueprint I would like an area to spawn my coins in, like the tutorial. As I would like this functionality in all segments, I add a function to the base segment that takes in a box and number of coins to spawn, then spawns them randomly inside the box.
However, everytime this node hits I am receiving a warning and I cannot see the coin appear, the warning reads:
Warning AttachTo: ‘/Game/SideScrollerBP/Maps/UEDPIE_0_RunLevel.RunLevel:PersistentLevel.Easyy1_C_38.ChildActorComponent_3198’ is not static (in blueprint “Easyy1”), cannot attach ‘/Game/SideScrollerBP/Maps/UEDPIE_0_RunLevel.RunLevel:PersistentLevel.ScorePickup_C_342.DefaultSceneRoot’ which is static to it. Aborting.
I have researched a bit and only found 1 post that mentions something similar here:
However, the tutorial is done in Unreal Engine 4.7 and seems to run fine, so I feel that maybe I am doing something incorrectly? I have checked every component in the base segment, it’s child, and the pickup and everything is static. I’m not sure what the “ChildActorcomponent_3198” is, but it should be static.
Thanks for the help in advance!
