hey guys I am switching my nodes into c++. I need to set this variable (called from the player controller) from this actor bp. How can I do this in c++? Do I have to cast? Thanks guyssss :smiley:

So if I understand this correctly, “RespawnTimes” is an int in your custom player controller. “Add” is an int in this actor, and that’s the amount you want to set “RespawnTimes” to be. You should rename “Add” to something more reasonable though.



// Get the local player's player controller.
APlayerController* LocalPlayerController = GetWorld()->GetFirstPlayerController();
if (LocalPlayerController)
{
     // If the local player controller is not null, cast it to our custom player controller class.
     AMyCustomPlayerController* MyCustomPlayerController = Cast<AMyCustomPlayerController>(LocalPlayerController);
     if (MyCustomPlayerController)
     {
          // If the cast was succcessful, set the variable.
          MyCustomPlayerController->RespawnTimes = Add;
     }
}
