This got me too! Adding the UFUNCTION specifier fixed it! thanks!!

This is definitely worth knowing. The problem is that if you don’t have UFUNCTION here, the project _won’t_ fail to compile, and you’ll get _no_ errors or warnings in the editor either. You’re just left wondering why your function isn’t being called.

Also, in many of the tutorials I’ve followed (like this one: [[Tutorial] Creating and Using Delegates C++ and Accessing them in Blueprints](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/tutorial-creating-and-using-delegates-c-and-accessing-them-in-blueprints/9649)), and in the official docs, the importance of this isn’t specified.
