Hello, I’m still fairly new to Unreal but have been able to find a lot of good resources online so far that have been helpful, but there is this issue I’m having that I can’t seem to find any resource on.
I understand that the GameInstance BP is meant to persist through level changes, but the actors that it spawns and keeps a variable reference of do not. I am trying to create some singleton behavior BP actors to help me manage certain aspects of my game.
I have a BP Actor named NetworkManager which manages a network connection to a custom networking solution I have, and I have another called PlayerManager which keeps data on the player such as the players name, profile Id, etc. In my GameInstance BP I am spawning these manager actors and then setting a variable in GameInstance to these spawned instances of those managers, but whenever I open a new level these spawned actors become “invalid” or null.
Is there any way I can have this singleton BP design work as I intend it to? I want my GameInstance to keep a reference to each of these managers, and for these managers to persist. I come from a Unity / C# background, C++ is still quite new to me but I’m open to learning more about that.
I understand I could just take all the content of my NetworkManager BP and my PlayerManager and just put it all in the GameInstance BP, I think that would definitely work but it feels messy, I’d like it if I can have it organized better and have the functions and variables belong to a blueprint that makes more sense as the container for those, rather than them being all over the place in my GameInstance BP.
