Hi,
when you made blueprint for some actor then process is following:

  1. create file by right click in some folder in content browser and select base class for your blueprint, then give it some name
  2. open it to edit
  3. Now, you can add some component to it from left panel
  4. Also, you can add some variables which are used by custom events or function from blueprints in event graph. When you add variable, you select its type(bool,int,float…), category=default and instance editable =1 to see it in Details/Default section of actor ( = instance of that blueprint file) which you place in your level=map. If you want to organize bunch of your variables in another category then click on it and type your name like MyCat.
  5. Finally, when you place your actor in level=map then you will see your variable under Details/Default section and other under Details/MyCat section
