Hello.
I want to add my custom UActorComponent to my custom APlayerState, but when I do my actor component won’t tick.
I tried to add it to my character, and it worked fine.
The player state is just a basic player state with Tick, BeginPlay and PostInitializeComponents.
It has GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY and the proper constructor, so that I could add the component on init.
Any ideas?
Maybe, PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true; in constructor will help
Doesn’t help. 
I really don’t know why it won’t tick.
I guess I could just create a function on the actor component that I could call each tick on my player state.
I’m fairly certain that neither PlayerStates not Actor Components tick at runtime, APlayerState inherits from AInfo I think.
Bear one thing in mind - the gamemode caches a whole bunch of playerstates at the start of a match and reuses them. You’ll have to account for that with your actor components if you’re doing multiplayer.
Also Make sure that your component also have PrimaryComponentTick.bCanEverTick = true;
But I think PlayerStates are some special actors, and should not tick by themselves. So yes, yous should update them from their actors or PlayerControllers.
You also need
PrimaryActorTick.bStartWithTickEnabled = true;
The PlayerState definitely ticks, but that may be because I have a blueprinted PlayerState.
I’ll check out bStartWithTickEnabled.
