Hello guys. I have a problem about how to transfer variables from a BP ACTOR to my Level Blueprint, and for this post i decided to simplify my question with a very simple example because my project is much more complex, but the question is the same.
In my Blueprint Actor, i have a text variable called “Type Of Animal”. I set on the actor differente types of texts, and everything works fine here.
The problem comes when i need to take that variable in my Level Blueprint, because after referencing my actor (i tried to cast to it, getting all actors of class, etc) i take the variable but it gives me the default value (not the cow and not the dog).
Its not an option to replicate the previous nodes before i set the variable because, in my real project, they are huge unlike this example im showing you.
I would appreciate your help very much, thank you guys
Yes, my variables are public and the inputs of my variables where i set them are enabled (they are not constantly enableed but the events that fire to set them are executed with a click (in the case of my example they are executed after pressing the spacebar and a flipflop to change from cow to dog. It still doesnt work
How you get an actor reference into the LB is another story altogether, though. In 99.999% of cases it is not really necessary, neither is Get All Actors Of Class.
Thank you very much, i didnt know you could add parameters values to a event dispatcher, this helped me very much.
And by the way, for those who didnt know this, i had a problem after this relative to the reference of the Blueprint actor where that variable was set. When i added the “bind event to…” in my level blueprint, i tried to connect the target into the reference of my bp actor that i did after geting a copy of it (after “get all actors of class”) and it didnt work. I mean, it allowed me to be connected to that reference but the custom event was not firing when it had to be fired. I solved it adding a reference of my BP ACTOR from my persistent level and i plugged it into the target of my “bind event…” and the custom event was fired correctly. Thank you very much guys, it helped me a lot.
