Need code snippet: Create new actor from uproperty actor pointer (C++)

It should be clear if you look at the definition of the TSubclassOf template. What it holds is actually a UClass*, not an instance of AMyActor. It simply uses the tempate argument to do some type checks (both compile time and runtime) for safety, but essentially a TSubclassOf is just a fancy UClass*.

So, given that it represents a UClass and not an instance, you don’t want to be calling GetClass on it.

Ah, now it clicked. I got it.

Basically, if in unity prefab is a “sample object”(that acts like object instance) that needs to be duplicated, in UE4 blueprint is treated as separate object class and reference to blueprint essentially just marks instance of which class you’d like to construct. Interesting.

Thanks for explanation, problem solved.
