Array of custom class objects

Development Programming & Scripting

To get more into the engine I wanted to make a simple tetris game after completing the c++ programming tutorial series.

I have my own fieldpoint objects that contain a staticmeshcomponent and some ints/bools for game information.

Now I wanted to make my field as an array of these objects but I can’t manage to find the correct way to instantiate them in the constructor of my field class.
When I use World->SpawnActor a fieldpoint object is spawned but I have no reference to it, so I can’t use it in the field class anymore. With CreateDefaultSubobject I can’t get it working at all.
These are the methods I got to know from the c++ programming tutorial series.

Any idea for a solution for this?
Thx already.

I guess the part that I put it in the constructor was the main failure here.
I did know that SpawnActor returns a reference but I couldn’t access it in other functions when used in the constructor.
Thx a lot, going to try this.

Use BeginPlay() instead of constructor (spawning won’t work in there, you should not put anything other then setting default) and World->SpawnActor returns spawned actor refrence, returns null if spawn failed, use it to assign objects to varables or array.
