Why is my BlueprintNativeEvent not firing Event in blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting

I found the answer after reading up more on how the engine worked. I had been making an assumption that a Blueprint created from a custom class was “of that class” rather than a child inheriting from it.

This meant that in my C++ where I had specified HudClass = ASWHud::StaticClass(); I had expected it to run the blueprint graph in what was actually a child class Blueprint. This was a massive oversight on my part.

My eventual solution was to specify the Blueprint Class was to be used as the HUDClass in my ASWGameMode.cpp

I did this using the following code:

#include "Runtime/CoreUObject/Public/UObject/ConstructorHelpers.h"

ASWGameMode::ASWGameMode()
{

    static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UClass> BP_ASWHUD(TEXT("/Game/Blueprints/BP_MAINHUD.BP_MAINHUD_C"));
 
    HUDClass = BP_ASWHUD.Object;
  
};

Thanks for all the help. Everyone’s input contributed to my eventual solution.
