Am trying to understand why when I run this blueprint from the animation blueprint the get pawn owner returned is the ThirdPersonCharacter when the character blueprint is XuFu_LC_Character_BP.
When I click play in the editor the print displays ThirdPersonCharacter (see 2nd image below) whereas when I have not clicked play it prints the correct Blueprint class.
I used the default ThirdPersonCharacter class to base my character from and then did a rename of the blueprinnt.
Its as though the rename has only partially updated things. Any ideas if this sounds correct, if so what else would I need to change?
Hmm no i think the printing before the cast should work fine, have you tried restarting the engine? i have seen something like this before but i don’t recall it 100%.
In most cases it’s not very useful. If you set the reference to a generic BP like pawn you can’t get any specific stuff that’s in your actual BP, so every time you use the reference you will have to cast to your BP. Instead if you cast first and right click the As Your Bp and make that a reference you’ve got a reference that you can use without casting.
My point was that** if** your variable is a generic class e.g. Pawn, then there is no difference if you give it a Pawn or a MySpecificPawn, and there is no benefit to casting it to MySpecificPawn before setting the variable.
