I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Are you talking about casting to a specified class?

[knack]

that my problem from other user capture.

You can't spawn 'Object'.

Why you get 'Object' class ? What is the purpose of this object ?

[knack]

i known i can't spawn a object, that why i need get the class actor, and that why Get Class not work because return a Class Object and i want Class Actor from the "hit actor"..

the idea its simple like you see in that capture (not mine but he have same problem, want something like Shoot->trace-> Break Hit -> Hit Actor -> Get Class'Actor' of the hit actor and spawn another one. why? think something like if i Line Trace a dog want spawn a dog, if i line trace a cat want spawn a cat.

i must find another way. But the idea was simple, its shame i can't get the class'actor'

when i saw the "Get Class" i say "nice that going to be easy"... after try connect ! sh*t return 'Object'

[Eddy71]

You don't try to casting to the desired class ?

[knack]

no cast to actor.

[Eddy71]

Like this :

[knack]

From your variable object output, drag a link to empty area grid. When the actions choice menus appears, click "Context sensitive" and type "cast actor" in search field.

[knack]

yep, now thx
but i can't figure yet how to "spawn actor class". Going to investigate. lol

[Eddy71]

Post a capture of your BP to show the problem

[knack]

my blueprint its simple, like the other guys with the same problem

https://answers.unrealengine.com/sto...26-capture.png

its exact i want spawn the "Hit Actor"

i try figure how to do for other ways but in the last steps there are always a "Spawn actor class" and i a need a Class 'actor'.

its simple but i begin think there its no way for do that with blueprint. Anyway i am new.

[Eddy71]

Casting is not applicable here.

It is possible, but more complicated.

You can see a principle here : http://hpics.li/f2a9ecd

This BP compile fine but isn't fully functional. And not tried.

1 - Initialize an array of classes with all the classes you want.
2 - Compare in a loop the classes in the array with the class of the hit actor.
3 - If comparison is true, spawn the actor.

Maybe there is a better solution, but i don't see best.
