Heyo!
This bug is the bane of my life…
This has been happening for lots of my actors, but this is the clearest example.
So, I have a class for a Light object, pretty basic:
h:
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#pragma once
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "FacilityLight.generated.h"
UCLASS()
class HSHOOTER_API AFacilityLight : public AActor
{
GENERATED_BODY()
public:
// Sets default values for this actor's properties
AFacilityLight();
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
virtual void BeginPlay() override;
// Called every frame
virtual void Tick( float DeltaSeconds ) override;
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Mesh)
class UStaticMeshComponent* Mesh;
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Gameplay)
UPointLightComponent* Light;
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Animation)
int FluctuationRate;
void SwitchLight(bool b);
};
cpp:
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#include "HShooter.h"
#include "FacilityLight.h"
// Sets default values
AFacilityLight::AFacilityLight()
{
// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
Mesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("MeshComp"));
Light = CreateDefaultSubobject<UPointLightComponent>(TEXT("LightComp"));
RootComponent = Mesh;
}
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AFacilityLight::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
}
// Called every frame
void AFacilityLight::Tick( float DeltaTime )
{
Super::Tick( DeltaTime );
Light->SetIntensity(Light->Intensity + (FluctuationRate*sin(rand() % 360)));
}
void AFacilityLight::SwitchLight(bool b)
{
Light->SetVisibility(b);
}
And I have a blueprint child of this class.
In the blueprint editor, I have made sure the point light component is where it should be in the lampshade:
However, when I drag it into the level, the component moves!
The only fix I know, is to set location in BeginPlay() which is horrible, and messy.
Anybody know how to fix this?
