Hello, I have an array of Items (classes derived from Object), and I need to add one sometimes. What I can’t find is the node to create a new Object from nothing. Thanks for the time ---

I don’t remember seeing a Spawn Object node, but I am curious why you wouldn’t just use an Actor? They count as objects for all intents and purposes right? Unless you have some nodes that specifically want a plain vanilla object anyway. ---

You need, to create custom node: > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... Then, you need to cast object, to type you need. ---

By cast, do you mean cast it when you use it in Blueprint? Or do you have to cast it in the code? ---

Hey davi211 Maybe you need “Contruct oblect from class” node ![251068-screenshot.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/4/d/44d71ee58dfad7575bc7fa6e6bdc476019404d33.png) ---

Thanks for the answer, but this was posted more than 4 years ago and I have no clue on what was I working. I wonder if that could be the solution tho. 😛
