Updating sun height during gameplay

[jimmyt1988]

Ah, I see, I have to assign a portion of the pre-made graph to the tick event.. Is there a C++ version of the BP_Sky_Dome... I hate working with the graphs, they're so confusingly spidery.

• Just as a test I created a class based off of the AActor.
• I then made a copy of the BP_Sky_Dome (or whatever its called)
• I replaced its parent blue print with my new SkyDom class which was based off of AActor (as stated above)
• I created a new public variable called SunHeight and made it editable
  
  

  UCLASS()
  class ****_API ASkyDome : public AActor
  {
  	GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY()
  
  	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Lighting)
  	float SunHeight;	
  
  	void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;
  
  private:
  	float SunRiseSpeed;
  };

• I placed the Tick event in and set PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true; in the construct method.
• I replaced all original sun height references in the blue print nodes to my new available class property. Yes, all of them.
• On tick I increase the sun height counter hoping for a sun rise... nothing happens, but the sun height does increment...

What am I missing from this? I see that the BP_Sky_Dome blueprint only simulates once on launch of game, how do I make it update on my tick? It is running over my tick code... that's for sure!

void ASkyDome::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
	Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

	SunHeight += SunRiseSpeed;
}
