I’ve been trying out using components for specific functions and have come across something that I can’t quite figure out!
I’ve created an Actor Component where it previously took the parent actor and bobbed it up and down and spun it around (like a powerup!). I tried to change this so that it would spin the Static Mesh component instead so that I can move around the actor freely but suddenly UE4 can’t read the property of the Static Mesh variable in my Component Blueprint while it had no problem doing the same for the actor!
I’m a bit stumped and hope any kind soul here can help a beginner out!
Tried casting but I’m still getting Can’t Read Property “Static Mesh” I have reference to the actual circle in my ActorComponent so it knows that Static Mesh is the circle but it’s like I’m not allowed to access it! And as I said in the post, It ran fine when I referenced the whole Actor instead of an component.
Inside my blueprint I have a Static Mesh Component which I want to access so I can rotate through a separate Actor Component. My actor component needs to access the Static Mesh Component (Circle) but I get an “Can’t read property” error while I got no such error just referencing the entire actor.
Ok, I see now what you mean but that gives me a static mesh object, not a component. I can’t rotate or change translation with a static mesh object.
This code here returns false which I don’t understand, maybe I just don’t get the whole communication part of components yet but this is how I do it when I communicate from blueprint to blueprint
