Static mesh component

Hello,

Here is what I am trying to achieve:

I want to make a c++ class, which defines my player. I want to be able to add it to my scene through a blueprint based from this class, and to tweak the defaults values written in my c++ file in the blueprint defaults. Currently I can select my static mesh in the defaults through the blueprint editor, but whenever I click on the mesh in the viewport (in game), the editor crashes.

I have got three questions according to my issue:

  • Why does it crash?
  • Is there a way
    to “reinit” the blueprint instead of
    deleting it and creating it again when I add
    components in the c++ class constructor?
  • Why is
    my compiling so slow when I only add
    1 line in my .cpp file? (taking up to 40 seconds atm!)
