I’m trying to access a component of an actor from another actor. But my code doesn’t work.

Here is my code.



FSphere* FollowingPoint;

for (TActorIterator<AActor> itr(GetWorld()); itr; ++itr)
    {
        if (itr->GetName().Contains("PC"))
        {
            TArray<FSphere*> Components;

            itr->GetComponents<FSphere>(Components);

            FollowingPoint = Components[0];
        }
    }

Here is the error message.

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Classes\GameFramework/Actor.h(2698): error C2338: ‘T’ template parameter to GetComponents must be derived from UActorComponent

“FSphere” is not a Component, it is a Struct;

In Unreal every Component class must start with a “U” prefix (dumb, but that’s how it is).
Structs have “F” prefix.
