Training Stream - Tanks vs. Zombies, p.3 - May 17th

I’ve been following this series on Youtube (using 4.18.2) and have encountered a scenario I can’t quite figure out yet.

It seems my Projectile check is always returning negative and hence my UE_LOG for the fire event isn’t firing.

My turret.h contains the following:


protected:

// Maximum turn rate in degrees/second for the turret.
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Turret")
float YawSpeed;

// Tank that owns this turret.
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Turret")
ATank* Tank;

// Projectile to spawn when firing.
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = "Turret")
TSubclassOf<AActor> Projectile;

And turret.cpp has the following code for the the fire action:


const FTankInput& CurrentInput = Tank->GetCurrentInput();

        if (CurrentInput.bFire1)

        {

            UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FIRE! 1"));

        }

if (CurrentInput.bFire1 && Projectile)

{ 

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FIRE! 2"));

if (UWorld* World = GetWorld())

{

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("FIRE! 3"));

if (AActor* NewProjectile = World->SpawnActor(Projectile))

{

FVector Loc = TurretSprite->GetSocketLocation("Muzzle");

FRotator Rot = TurretDirection->GetComponentRotation();


NewProjectile->SetActorLocation(Loc);

NewProjectile->SetActorRotation(Rot);

}


}

}

However **FIRE! 1 **is working fine, and shows in my logs. But Fire! 2 is not, implying the check on Projectile is failing, and I can’t figure why that would be the case here. Any ideas?
