So i noticed in Blueprint, each Component has its own separate node for adding that Component to a Blueprint, but what about being able to pass a Component class into a node and it adding that Component to a Blueprint?
Is this feature planned, or is the current method the only one that will be supported?
(Incase you dont understand what i mean, look at Spawn Actor, and see how it allows you to pass in the Class of the Actor you want to spawn.)<-- I want this but for adding Components to Blueprints during runtime.
Is this still not done? This seems to be some essential functionality. I have a related question to this. Is there no way to have something like NewObject in Blueprint? Why does the Construct Object From Class node not work with components (I just get “Wrong class to spawn” which is not very helpfull)?
Feature requests typically take a lower priority due to the developer’s focus on high-priority crash and showstopper bugs. However, you do have access to source, so if you’d like to implement the feature you are welcome to enter a pull request.
As far as NewObject goes, as far as I’m aware, this isn’t exposed to blueprints.
+1 It would be lovely to have this for things like skill systems. I’m trying to create a component from class but getting a “Cannot construct objects of type…”
