Just as the title says. I’ve created a blank game project in 4.24 with raytracing on, maximum quality, and with starter content. I created all my BP for Game Mode, Game State, Player controller, default spectator pawn, and a default player pawn that I created etc… to populate the world settings. In the player pawn I’ve added some movement functionality. I also attempted to use event tick to do a check on the static mesh physics object added to the pawn and it’s not firing. I’ve added a print string directly to the event tick node and nothing is being printed to the screen. Any ideas what setting I’ve missed? I can’t figure out what I’ve missed. On the pawn event tick is checked and is turned on. It is set to 0 to fire every frame. It really is the simplest pawn setup. one static mesh set to simulate physics, the mesh is set to the cube, and then a spring arm and camera. Any suggestions?
This is a couple of years late, but I just made a new project and ran into the same issue and it took a while to find a solution for it. So for anyone who may stumble across this post in the future:
When I created my project, I made a new ‘Game Mode’ blueprint called e.g. MyGame_GameMode and plugged in a bunch of default classes to it (MyGame_Pawn; MyGame_PlayerController etc).
The MyGame_GameMode parent was ‘GameModeBase’ and for some reason, that meant my pawn didn’t tick (player controller was totally fine). I changed MyGame_GameMode’s parent class to ‘GameMode’ and everything started working as expected.
