Calling non-static UFunction from console command

GEngine->GetWorld shouldn’t be returning null. That seems off. You could store a static pointer to your Hero (assuming there’s only one) on your game mode and then create a static method to grab it. Basically use a singleton-esque model.




class AMyGameMode : public AGameMode
{
   static void SetActiveHero(AActor* MyHero) { s_MyHeroPtr = MyHero; }
   static AActor* GetActiveHero() { check(s_MyHeroPtr.isValid()); return s_MyHeroPtr.Get(); }

// ...
private:
  static TWeakObjectPtr<AActor> s_MyHeroPtr;
}

Then when your Hero is created, simply call AMyGameMode::SetActiveHero, and in your Console method you can call AMyGameMode::GetActiveHero.

Or figure out why GEngine is returning a null world and go about things that way.
