I’m not sure what’s missing as there are no errors, but DefaultSceneRoot is attached to my BP_Projectile(self) and not a static mesh. There were no issues before adding #include “Components/StaticMeshComponent.h”, and it seems as if I also left it out in my BasePawn.cpp however everything else has worked as expected so far.
I tried recompiling after adding the Static Mesh header but that still hasn’t fixed it.
