I cannot find the ''get static mesh component''

i tried opening a new project to see if i accedentally messed up anything but it is sill nowhere to be seen. i am using UnrealEngine 5.3.2 so i am guessing it is a problem with the version i am using. Can someone help me to find the node i need at the 14th lesson to connect the referance of the cube? i tried google and searched everywhere but nothing came up.

i should also say that i deleted some of the codes from DefaultGame.ini because it was creating errors and it is the solution was in this site. the codes were:

[StartupActions]
bAddPacks=True
InsertPack=(PackSource=“StarterContent.upack”,PackName=“StarterContent”)

And here is the problem’s picture

Hi Puffer64,

Welcome to our community! :slight_smile:

I’ve noticed that your thread appeared in our Unity Courses subforum. Since your problem is related to Unreal, I moved it to the Unreal Courses subforum.

Which course does this relate to?

thankyou very much

[Unreal Engine 5 C++ Developer: Learn C++ & Make Video Games]

So, this is the level blueprint. This won’t contain static mesh components directly. To reference one, you click on the reference in the outliner then switch back to the Level blueprint. From here you can then right-click and you will find the cube. See the video again from about 4 minutes onwards. This describes how you can add a reference.

I am assuming the video is Objects and References.

Please add as much information as you can when you are asking questions. The title of the video is useful, where in the video if there’s a specific point in time, any code and a description of what you’re trying to do and what is not working for you. This really helps get an answer faster.

Anyway, I hope this helps

thankyou for the help. i had already clicked on the cube on the outliner but i was coding this in the midnight so i missed the little detail about him dragging the data pin and then searching for it instead of just right clicking and searching. i noticed it when i watched it 5 times.

It is easy to miss such a small detail. Glad you’re sorted and good luck with the rest of the course.
