I want get location of the instance member in Foliage.  
This is what I selected foliage in viewport and launch my function then return the instance’s location.

## this is my code:

```
AActor* TargetActor = NULL;
AInstancedFoliageActor*	CurrentIFA = NULL;

FString TargetName;
FString TargetLocation;

for (FSelectionIterator It(*GEditor->GetSelectedActors()); It; ++It)
{
	TargetActor = static_cast<AActor*>(*It);
	//CurrentIFA = static_cast<AInstancedFoliageActor*>(*It);
	//CurrentIFA = (AInstancedFoliageActor*)TargetActor;
	//CurrentIFA = Cast<AInstancedFoliageActor*>(*It);
	
	if (TargetActor)
	{
		TargetName = TargetActor->GetName();
		TargetLocation = TargetActor->GetActorLocation().ToString();

		UE_LOG(ToolButtonModuleLog, Warning, TEXT("Name: %s, Location: %s"), *(TargetName), *(TargetLocation));
	}
}

```

* * *

This code is only can get the Actor’s properties.  
I was selected a Foliage launch my code then return \<0, 0, 0\> location. just one location.  
I want each of the instance properties inside Foliage.

How can i get this.?  
I was search in internet so many times but i can’t anymore.
