Please help. I tried everything.

Please excuse the formatting. I’m writing this directly in the text field. For a UStaticMeshComponent you can call the function SetStaticMesh(UStaticMesh* inMesh). I’ve written a quick setup below.

//in Demo.h

UCLASS()
class ADemo : public AActor {
    GENERATED_BODY()

private:

    UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Components")
    //Static mesh component
    UStaticMeshComponent* Mesh;

public:
    
    //Default constructor
    ADemo();

    //Sets the mesh to a new static mesh
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable)
    void SetMeshComponentMesh(UStaticMesh* inMesh);
}

and then in demo.cpp

#include "Demo.h"

ADemo::ADemo() 
: Super() {

    Mesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
    Mesh->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
}

void ADemo::SetMeshComponentMesh(UStaticMesh* inMesh) {
    Mesh->SetStaticMesh(inMesh);
}

then in your blueprints on your input just call that function.
