How to locate any components of the actor-blueprint and get access to their properties?

Hi, did you find a solution? I watched your thread last week. Now I had the same question.

How to edit the Properties/variables of a Child BP (it adds as Child Actor Component) that is inside a Parent BP - (this has been asked since 2015).

So your question is more for Mesh components, while mine is for Actor Components. What do you need to change on the Meshes, something like their Materials?

I have a partial solution to CastTo the [component] > get its [Property to change] > then set it by using a Variable in Parent BP (which is a copy of the type of Variable in the Child component).

• (Btw using CastTo can be a bad method - it links assets together and makes it hard to switch the receiver code later. Im looking for a better method.)

Update: I used method #3): in Parent’s Construct Script > Get Actor of the current Child Actor Component, then CastTo [Child Actor’s] variables > Set new – (which forces Child’s Construct script to run, read DT, and Set its internal Mesh, color, stats - which will be preloaded in Parent in Editor, then final loaded at BeginPlay).
