I’ve created a new character movement component and set it on c++, but after I did this I opened the blueprint actor and the details of the component are not showing and the component is being considered null, getting a lot of errors where it is referenced. To fix it I need to reparent my character …

This worked for me, in case anyone else is struggling: Open Blueprint Class Settings Parent Class (Change to “Actor”, or anything) Parent Class, change back to “Character”.

On the Character Movement Component I’ve only override one function: [image] That’s how I’ve set the component on my character cpp file, [image]

I think you need to override the the ObjectInitializer in your Character header. For example, this is how I have a custom movement comp setup in my base character class: Header: public: // Sets default values for this character's properties ACustomCharacter(const class FObjectInitializer& Objec…

Hmm OK, not sure what is causing the issue then if your code matches mine. Can you show a screen shot of your components in the editor?

The details panel is blank [image] And where it is referenced gets a lot of errors like it’s null [image] If I create a new actor it shows and work, but the ones that were created don’t. I’ve tried compile on the visual studio with the editor closed this time, because it happened before and I’…

So a couple things I think will be worth confirming: Is your UAirshipCharMovementComponent a child of CharacterMovementComponent? Let’s make sure the Character is actually using your Airship Movement Comp as the movement component so we can narrow down the issues. Can you add a quick UE_LOG…

It crashed on the characters I’ve created before, and one of these don’t have any code, I created it before changing the movement component just to test if this error would happen. [image] On a new character it works [image] On the base class from c++, without a blueprint class it works too

And to confirm from above, your Airship Movement Comp inherits from UCharacterMovementComponent and not directly from UPawnMovementComponent or UMovementComponent?

Yes inherits from UCharacterMovementComponent [image]

I’m not sure what’s causing the issue then without digging more into your project code. If it works on a clean character like you mentioned, I’m not sure why it’s not working on your AMainCharacter class. Last thing I would try is deleting your interemediate, bininaries and sln file and rebuilding…
