Child Actor Class not using Parent Class default value at runtime

Development Programming & Scripting

Hi,

the default value of a variable is not used at runtime unless I tick the 'instance editable" checkbox…which makes the variable available to edit in the level editor

why cant I just leave it unticked and have the actor use it’s default value ?

is it because the instantiated actor is a child of that actor class ?

thanks for your help on this one
