What is new syntax of creating sub-objects in 4.7.1?

Hey MSD,

the simpler way is:

AESPPawn::AESPPawn(const FObjectInitializer& ObjectInitializer)
     : Super(ObjectInitializer)
{
    MyCollectionSphere = CreateOptionalDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(TEXT("MyCollectionSphere"));
}

Furthermore, if none of base classes of your AESPPawn has a constructor using FObjectInitializer parameter you can declare only constructor without this parameter, which simplifies it even more:

AESPPawn::AESPPawn()
{
    MyCollectionSphere = CreateOptionalDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(TEXT("MyCollectionSphere"));
}

We’re gradually removing the need of ObjectInitializers, so you have to check manually if you can remove the parameter from your constructor in this particular case.

Hope this helps!
