Context:
I was trying to create a simple BP Widget that takes InputAction, InputMappingContext, and CommonInputBaseControllerData, and then finds and displays the proper Key image (prompt) acordingly to which Controler type is being used.
My issue:
I’ve noticed that when I try to store the reference to CommonInputBaseControllerData, something isn’t working as it should:
My assets derived from CommonInputBaseControllerData just do not appear in the dropdown here ^
So I tried to store these assets as UObjects first, and then Cast to the CommonInputBaseControllerData at runtime,
but every time when I try it, the Cast fails and returns null:
(on screenshot above, I’m even trying to Cast directly to the child class but it also fails in this case)
I’ve also tried to pass the UObject to the C++ function and cast there but it also didn’t work:
So my questions are:
What am I doing wrong here?
Why UCommonInputBaseControllerData is not getting stored/casted as expected?
Is it because UCommonInputBaseControllerData is an Abstract / DataOnly class?
I’m clearly missing something there, or doing something wrong.
I will be very thankful for any help
