Hi, i created new object and when i spawn it into the world it does spawn in one specific spot and when i try to move it, it snaps back to it’s original position. How can i solve this? Here is a video showing my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSY3kAWAwrA . I can move every other object in the world but not that one i’m creating. Thanks.

Your root component requires a transform for it to be movable.
So you can use a USceneComponent as the root for example or a static mesh component.

Please show the code inside of the moving platform.

GENERATED_BODY()

public:
// Sets default values for this actor’s properties
AMovingPlatform();

protected:
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
virtual void BeginPlay() override;

public:
// Called every frame
virtual void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
int32 MyInt = 99;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
float MyFloat = 5.99;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
bool MyBool = true;

};

Try adding a scene component to your class

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
	USceneComponent* Root;

and inside of the cpp initialize it in the CDO (AMovingPlatform ::AMovingPlatform() )

Root = CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(TEXT("root"));

You should then be able to move it.

The first component that registers will automatically become the root component.
