Blueprints find actor in scene

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hey guys,

I think this is a pretty simple one . Just want to know how to find an actor (of “XType”) in the scene and assign it at runtime.

Basically I want it to be

Event BeginPlay → FindActorOfType(XType)->SetVariable… etc

There will only be 1 of this actor type in the scene at any time so I don’t need to get an array of them
if that makes sense
I have come from a background Unity development so still getting used to Unreal.

Cheers!

You can use GetAllActorsOfClass

If there are few actors like this, you can filter them by Tag or name.
