I've been trying to spawn an actor in C++ for the last 8 hours, please help.

I switched to blue prints.

The biggest problem with c++ UE4 is the lack of explanation on how classes communicate with each other. For example, how can classPlayerController access public functions/vars/objects from classSpawnManager or how classGameState can access functions/vars/objects from classPlayerController. When you finally do get communication established between classes, half the time the method you’re calling upon won’t perform what you expected it to.

I finally got the actor to spawn, but as soon as I put the same exact code into a different class, it just stopped working. Too much work with little return.

Unity C# is faster and more productive than UE4 C++, but UE4 blue prints are faster and more productive than Unity C#, just my two cents.

In my experience it is
C# beats blueprints and C++ beats C#. To each its own, as they say.

Actor spawning was explained in C++ First Person Tutorial.

Also, blueprints use same data structures and same methods as C++, so there shouldn’t be any difference.

Anyway, suit yourself.
