I’m sure it’s accomplished by the SetStaticMesh(UStaticMesh *NewMesh); function.
However, I’m not sure how to get the static mesh reference of the mesh from my content browser.
Thanks.
That’s easy!
#C++ Constructor
Right click on your static mesh asset and select “Copy Reference”
Than paste into code in constructor
AJoySMA::AJoySMA(const class FPostConstructInitializeProperties& PCIP)
: Super(PCIP)
{
//Mesh
static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> StaticMeshOb_torus(TEXT("StaticMesh'/Engine/EditorShapes/Meshes/Shape_Torus.Shape_Torus'"));
if (StaticMeshOb_torus.Object)
StaticMeshComponent->SetStaticMesh(StaticMeshOb_torus.Object);
or
#Blueprinted Class Property
#.H
create a blueprinted version of your class, and make a UStaticMesh* so you can assign the static mesh in the editor.
The value set in BP should only be accessed after PostInit.
/** SM Asset for Player Starts */
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, BlueprintReadOnly, Category=StaticMeshAssets)
UStaticMesh* AssetSM_PlayerStart;Thanks!? It works!
Where did you come across this? I need a great reference.
Furthermore, how would I get the position of the static mesh component?
I’m only struggling with the API. Steep learning curve, haha.

Hey darkgaze, from where did you get this book? I tried to find a free pdf on google but I couldn’t. Could you help me?
Do what I did. Pay for it. It’s worth it. I suggest you follow this website: everyday, they give a book for free. Other times books are 5 dollars or something like that. Free Learning | Daily Programming eBook from Packt
