Verse

Summary

When creating a device with an array with content of the array seems to always be whatever was in the array when the device is created. Changing array later has no effect

Steps to Reproduce

Create the following verse device. Notice element count will correctly be logged as 2. If you then comment in the third element and update verse you will notice that the count is still returned as 2. Restarting session or project has no effect. Changing content of array (e.g. foo := 12) is also not reflected after updating.

using { /Fortnite.com/Devices }
using { /Verse.org/Simulation }

my_element := class():
Foo:int

my_device := class(creative_device):
Elements:my_element = array:
my_element:
Foo := 0
my_element:
Foo := 1
# my_element:
# Foo := 2

OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
    Print("my_device: Elements:{Elements.Length}")

    for(E : Elements):
        Print(" {E.Foo}")

Expected Result

Array should be correctly for each change its content

Observed Result

Seems always on devices always have the value from when device was added to scene (some in scene caching?)
If device is deleted and a new is created the correct updated values will appear

Platform(s)

PC

A workaround is to make the array an empty variable and set content in OnBegin

my_device2 := class(creative_device):
    var Elements:[]my_element = array{}

    OnBegin<override>()<suspends>:void=
        set Elements += array:
            my_element:
                Foo := 0
            my_element:
                Foo := 1
        Print("my_device2: Elements:{Elements.Length}")
