Selecting blueprint actor as a character's member variable

Development Programming & Scripting

I have buncha blueprint weapons derived from C++ base class and am trying to equip my enemy character with a weapon.

in header:

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category=Guns, meta=(AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
	class AMyWeaponBase* EnemyWeapon;

in constructor:

// Equip Weapon
	const USkeletalMeshSocket* WeaponSocket = GetMesh()->GetSocketByName("WeaponSocket");
    if (WeaponSocket && EnemyWeapon)
    {
    	EnemyWeapon->AttachToComponent(GetMesh(), FAttachmentTransformRules::SnapToTargetIncludingScale, "WeaponSocket");
    }

When I try to set a weapon in my enemy character BP, my weapon blueprints doesn’t show up in dropdown, they only show up if I drag them into the level but even then selecting them doesn’t work/do anything. What am I doing wrong?
