Movable Platform

[Wesley_Stander]

I did everything as the video showed but my platform is not moving, in the code below I tried moving PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true into BeginPlay and it also doesn’t move.

AMovingPlatform::AMovingPlatform()
{
SetMobility(EComponentMobility::Movable);
}

void AMovingPlatform::BeginPlay()
{
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
}

void AMovingPlatform::Tick(float DeltaSeconds)
{
Super::Tick(DeltaSeconds);
FVector Location = GetActorLocation();
Location += FVector(15 * DeltaSeconds, 0, 0);
SetActorLocation(Location);
}

Hi Wesley, I think you should change your constructer and beginplay methos as I showed below. Then replace your MovingPlatform component in level again.

Note: I could not find how to update older MovingPlatform components in level. If someone find the solution, please share it

AMovingPlatform::AMovingPlatform()
{
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
SetMobility(EComponentMobility::Movable);
}

void AMovingPlatform::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay(); // your problem was that you forget this line
}

Update them in which way?

[Utku_ESEN]

In order to understand Wesley’s problem, I changed my code as Wesley showed above. Then, my objects didn’t move anymore as expected. Then, I realized the problem and fix it but my older movement objects in the level didn’t move. I needed to replace all movement platforms in level again

I couldn’t understand why older objects C++ code didn’t updated automaticly.

Did you try an editor restart?

[Utku_ESEN]

Yes and also I tried clean and rebuild solution from visual studio but it doesn’t work. I think it is a bug about unreal engine. I tried with 4.22.3 version of unreal engine. Perhaps it is solved with new versions.

Some times these behaviours do happen!
