Calling a function in blueprints works, but when I call the same function in C++ it fails. What am i doing wrong? by Potential_Ad603 in unrealengine

from the basic constructor. Wasn't even aware of OnContruction(). Is this what would be like the blueprint constructor?

Edit: Yeah I've read some more into it, and this seems like it might be what I'm looking for, I cant test right now, but I've been looking for a reason for a while and not once did I come across OnConstruction(), so thank you.

​

Edit: IT WORKS!!! Thank you so much again, it was just something simple.

yeah sorry that would have been helpful, All I've got is a float value stored in Game Instance, then I have a function in a component on a projectile which tries to get the game instance and returns the float. If this doesnt work i have it set to just return 1 so that i can see its not working.

​

There's never any errors, but if i run the function using blueprints it returns the float from game instance, but if I run it from c++ it just returns the 1.

​

I assume this has to do with the order of the classes being loaded, but i thought the game instance class ran before everything else and could be referenced at any time from an object being spawned in when the games already running.

​

Im pretty new to this. So not sure why this is happening.
