Just purchased the rdInst plugin a day or so ago, had no trouble integrating it into a 4.26 project, and refactoring it into my gameplay systems has been pretty smooth thus far.

It’s a pretty slick plugin, kudos!

Thanks! I’m happy to hear that it’s going well for you!

A question/hurdle I ran into, is there a way to be informed when an actor/component is obtained and then released back into the pool (like an OnPooled/OnDepooled or something).

There isn’t really any way at present to get notifications when actors are pooled/depooled but it will be simple to add - I’ll make a new version with it in, but if you wanted to go ahead and add it yourself too it’s pretty straight forward, you’ll just need to add your code to the ArdInstBaseActor::rdGetActorFromPool() and ArdInstBaseActor::rdRemoveActorFromPool() methods in rdInstBaseActor.cpp.

What I’ll add is a test to see if the actor is subclassed from rdActor, and if it is, call derivable methods OnPooled() and OnDepooled() in rdActor.

Also, for some reason any actor I obtain from the pool right now doesnt seem to tick even though all the normal tick flags seem to be enabled…thoughts??

Ticking should be working ok, I just tested it with the project I made the bullet tutorial from and the tick was being called ok in there - this is the setup I have in the actor class:

I can do more tests with Ticks in 4.26 if you’re still experiencing issues with it.
