How do I get the C++ Construction Script to Refire on Variable change like the BP Construction?

I want to execute the Construction every time I change a Variable. It works fine in BP but in C++ it doesn’t.

The C++ Version of the Code is not working

USPatrolComponent::USPatrolComponent()
{
	if (bVisualize)
	{
		bVisualize = false;
		ShowPath();
	}
}

But in BP it works

When does the Visualize path variable become true?

By manually setting it. Its intended as EditInstanceOnly bool.

The construction script in C++ is only run when the object is first created. You’ll need to implement the PostEditChangeProperty function for your object to get it to mimic what you are doing in blueprint.
