Access variables from another class

Hello guys. I’m having a problem to access variables from another class. Here is my code:

PooledObjects.h

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "ObjectPooler.h"
#include "PooledObjects.generated.h"

/**
 * 
 */
UCLASS()
class PROGRAMMING_TEST_API APooledObjects : public AObjectPooler
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
	
	virtual void BeginPlay() override;

public:
	APooledObjects();
	
	UPROPERTY()
	class UStaticMeshComponent* Nicro;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
	float MinLifespan;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
	float MaxLifespan;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
	AActor* Life;
	
	
};

PooledObjects.cpp

void APooledObjects::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

	ASpawner* LifeRef = Cast<ASpawner>(Life);
	if (LifeRef)
	{
		MinLifespan = LifeRef->MinLifetime;
		MaxLifespan = LifeRef->MaxLifetime;
		SetLifeSpan(FMath::FRandRange(MinLifespan, MaxLifespan));
	}

Spawner.h

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "Spawner.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class PROGRAMMING_TEST_API ASpawner : public AActor
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

public:
	// Sets default values for this actor's properties
	ASpawner();

	virtual void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;



protected:
	// Called when the game starts or when spawned
	virtual void BeginPlay() override;

public:
	// Called every frame

	FORCEINLINE class UBoxComponent* GetCollisionBox() const { return CollisionBox; }

	UFUNCTION()
		FVector GetRandomPointInVolume();

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
		float MinLifetime;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
		float MaxLifetime;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
		AActor * Life;
};

I’m trying to access MinLifespan and MaxLifespan in PooledObjects class from Spawner class so that i could edit the value anytime i want. Please show me what’s wrong with this code. Thank you in advance.

Are you getting any compilation errors?

None. I got no errors. Just the variables not passing to the PooledObjects. Is there any mistakes in my code?

4

What do you mean by “the variables not passing to the PooledObjects”?

5

Sorry. I mean whenever i change the MinLifetime/MaxLifetime value in the Spawner, the value will be pass to the MinLifespan/MaxLifespan in PoolObjects. But seems it’s not working.

And how will the value be passed to the MinLifeSpan/MaxLifeSpan in PoolObjects?
