What is the correct way to create and add components at runtime ?

I have a question, hope someone knows the answer, I create new (NewObject()) UStaticMeshComponents at runtime and place them in an TArray. They are registered and i can succesfully set a mesh and manipulate their placement right after creation. However, if i try to access the same TArray, which was declared in the header file, at another time, the array is empty… the meshes are still visible in the editor, but for some reason the TArray is empty? any clue??? tahnks a billion!

If you are using array with pointer, please note by adding/removing elements to array, it’s content can get invalidated. That holds especially true for pointers… Eg if you plan to use and add dynamically to it, consider pre-allocate some space in array first. When array is resizing pointers might get lost…
