BP class inherited from a C++ class loses components on reconstruction

Hey,

I have a character class that I wrote in C++ and wanted to add some BP functionality, so I inherited a new BP from the C++ class. Till now, I was adding components through code only, but now after quite some time, I wanted to add a component using BPs, graphically. I added them, but when I closed the engine and reopened, it was gone. This happened multiple times, I tried at least 5 times. This is probably a bug in UE4. I really need to use the BP functionality to add components.

Thanks

Hey!

Thanks. I’ll submit the bug report.

I noticed that it only happens when adding CUSTOM components to BP classes inherited from C++ classes.

Oookay? I know that.
And it is a valid bug.

Yes, I use CreateDefaultSubobject

It’s a message posted only because you posted your question in Bug Raport category, regardless if it’s valid bug or not.

How do you declare components in C++, do oyu use sub objects on constructor?

Well lot of people post on Report Bug category while there issue is not really a bug ;p

If you did this statically as you saying then indeed might be bug

It is a bug.

Yeah, I understand, sorry.

So what can we do about the bug? I wanted to look at the Engine’s source myself, but it’s too complex for me
