Using an Actor within a Character

Hello Darkhanis,

I tried to do a similar code as yours.
My unreal crashes too.
So I tried several things and eventually I success to do something which works.

Spawning actor in constructor seems not work so I moved the creation in the BeginPlay function.

NewObject didn’t work for me so I used [SpawnActor][1].

Here the code :

void ATestCharacter::BeginPlay()
{
	APaperCharacter::BeginPlay();

	// Test for Darkhanis
	FTransform Tr;
	Tr.SetLocation( GetActorLocation() + FVector( 150.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f ) );
	m_TestPlayerShot = (APlayerShot*)GetWorld()->SpawnActor( APlayerShot::StaticClass(), &Tr );
}

The header is similar as yours :

UPROPERTY( EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Test )
	class APlayerShot* m_TestPlayerShot;

TestCharacter Is a paper character, equivalent to your NPC.
APlayerShot is a child from AActor, equivalent to your pickup.

So like this I can access to my actor from a blueprint extend from my character :

I hope it will help you.
