How to SpawnActor with differnet staticmesh?

Owner is a reference on an AActor and your staticMesh is not an AActor*.

So if you are beginner i will give you a good method but i don’t know if it is exactly what you want.

I suppose you have an Actor named MyWeapon and this weapon can fire 2 types of Projectile

You have 3 Class of projectile:

  • MyCPPClassOfProjectile (Abstract class / you can’t instantiate it / it has a UPROPERTY staticMesh)

    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Projectile)
    UStaticMeshComponent* YourMesh

  • MyBluePrintProjectile1 (subClass of MyCPPClassOfProjectile )

  • MyBluePrintProjectile2 (subClass of MyCPPClassOfProjectile )

With BluePrint Interface you set the staticMesh of your choice in both MyBluePrintProjectile

In your class MyWeapon:
You have a list of MyCPPClassOfProjectile that can be spawn.

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Weapon)
    TArray<TSubclassOf<MyCPPClassOfProjectile> > List_ProjectileType

In BluePrintInterface you add to the list both of your MyBluePrintProjectile

In MyWeapon where you want spawn a projectile:

GetWorld()->SpawnActor<AProjectile>(List_ProjectileType[TheTypeYouWant], ProjectileLocation, ProjectileRotation);

I dont think it is really clear, ask more question if you need.

Good Luck
