I’m getting this error with my custom actor.  
“Template Mismatch during attachment. Attaching instanced component to template component. Parent ‘CustomRootComp’ Self ‘CustomRootComp’”

This is what the constructor looks like. What am I doing wrong?

```
AMyThing::AMyThing( const FObjectInitializer& ObjectInitializer )
	: Super( ObjectInitializer )
{
	TranslationComp = ObjectInitializer.CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>( this, TEXT( "CustomRootComp" ) );
	TranslationComp->Mobility = EComponentMobility::Movable;
	RootComponent = TranslationComp;
}
```

I ran into the same problem because I changed the dependencies of the components in the C++ code. This was not a problem with the code, but because the UE4 engine did not properly reload all inherited blueprint classes. You can fix this by manually reloading the faulty blueprint classes
