PlayerStart can not be moved

Development Programming & Scripting

Hey guys,
I am procedurally generating a level. When I’m done with that, I want to use the following code in order to move the playerStart, that already exists in the level to a specific position. When I try that, however, the PlayerStart gets moved to a completely different position and I get the warning

LogPrimitiveComponent:Warning: Trying
to move static component
‘CapsuleComponent
/Game/Maps/UEDPIE_0_Example_Map.Example_Map:PersistentLevel.PlayerStart_1.CollisionCapsule’
after initialization

Here’s my code:

TActorIterator<APlayerStart> playerStart(GetWorld());
playerStart->SetActorLocation(startingPoint + offsetVector+ FVector(0, 0, 5));

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Set Spawnpoint to %s, real position is now %s"), *(startingPoint + offsetVector + FVector(0, 0, 5)).ToCompactString(), *playerStart->GetActorLocation().ToCompactString());

The Log has the following output:

Set Spawnpoint to V(X=-338.60,
Y=-3130.88, Z=-1275.23), real position
is now V(X=329913.38, Y=-471241.31,
Z=230647.94)

How do I fix that?

Is there probably a better (=earlier) way to do procedural level generation than by calling the generation function from the level blueprint via “Event Begin Play”?
