Hello Unreal Community,
again I have to confront you with a beginner question.
I want to implement a widget spawning actors into the level, after the thumbnail referring to the actor got selected in a blueprint widget and gets drag’n’dropped to the correct place. This should end up into a kind of room configurator. We have a room, take a chair, add a desk etc.
In order to do this, I implemented three classes which are relevant for this issue:
-
An item class. Let’s take a chair as an example. There are some variables in that class (itemName, itemThumbnail, itemDescription … ) with default values in it, which should be transmitted to my…
-
… character class. Here I want to build an array of all items (chair, desk, monitor etc.). This array is used to …
-
… populate the uniform grid panel in my Blueprint Widget class.
THE PROBLEM: In my character class, I don’t have access to the information in the item class. This is due to I have no object spawned yet, when the game starts, which I could could use as the object for casting.
THE QUESTION: How to get access to the item class information in the character class.
Thank you for any answers in advance!
Cheers,
