Hello, pretty new on Unreal Engine but programmed c++ quite long time.
Simple case, In my custom GameMode class I want to find object by name, for example a camera. Problem is that It always returns null and I can’t figure out the problem. I also iterated through the World object and find it there, as it should.
Here’s the part.
void AInvadersGameModeBase::BeginPlay() {
Super::BeginPlay();
UWorld *World = GetWorld();
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT(" --AInvadersGameModeBase--"));
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(World, TEXT("CineCameraActor_0"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(World, TEXT("CineCameraActor"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(World, TEXT("Camera"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(nullptr, TEXT("CineCameraActor_0"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(nullptr, TEXT("CineCameraActor"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
if (FindObject<ACameraActor>(nullptr, TEXT("Camera"))) {
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FOUND: %s"),*Camera->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Actors"));
for (TActorIterator<AActor> It(World); It; ++It) {
AActor* MyActor = *It;
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Key: %s"),*MyActor->GetName());
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Label: %s"),*MyActor->GetActorNameOrLabel());
}
The logs look like this.

So I know they are in the World object, what gives?
Thx.
I’m losing my mind.
