Spawn TSubclassOf<UAnimInstance> Bot

I’ve been trying to spawn a subclass of an animation instance. Basically, I have an animation blueprint derived from AnimInstance that I have assigned to my Bot:



.h
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "SpawnManager")
TSubclassOf<UAnimInstance> BotBP;


And I have tried different methods of spawning it, using the BotBP, the ClassWithin too, and other derivations.

Using the below to spawn BotBP the log reports anim_bp_C is not an actor class:



if (BotBP)
{
FActorSpawnParameters spawnParams;
spawnParams.Owner = this;
spawnParams.SpawnCollisionHandlingOverride = ESpawnActorCollisionHandlingMethod::AlwaysSpawn;

FVector spawnLocation = FVector(500.0f, 170.0f, 170.0f);
FRotator spawnRotation = FRotator::ZeroRotator;

ASkeletalMeshActor* bot = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<ASkeletalMeshActor>(BotBP, spawnLocation, spawnRotation, spawnParams);
:
}


And if I change the SpawnActor call to use the ClassWithin the log reports SkeletalMeshComponent is not an actor class:



GetWorld()->SpawnActor<ASkeletalMeshActor>(BotBP->ClassWithin, spawnLocation, spawnRotation, spawnParams);


Any help would be appreciated it.

Thank you.
