Never able to get any PlayerController in Beginplay
Like PlayerController = Cast(GetController()) ;
But it is working fine in Tick.
The same goes for game mode too.
ToonTanksPlayerController = Cast(UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerController(this,0));
Can you post your code please, I am confused by the phrasing of your message?

How are you determining that it’s null? Seems to be fine on my end
Oh in the game mode, your earlier post said tank
I’ll check it in a bit when I’m back at the PC.
Thanks
No luck same old. Is there any configuration I am missing @DanM ?
I have rebuild it from the editor . Same thing.
Is there any possibility to clear the doubt over a call . Else I just have to scrap this. I can not move forward .
Thanks
Just so we’re on the same page. By “rebuild” I didn’t mean “build again”, I mean use the rebuild task/project i.e.
in VS Code use the task:
ToonTanksEditor Win64 Development REbuild
In VS:
Build > REbuild ToonTanks
As buiding only compiles files that have changed from the last build and reuses previous compiled object files for ones that haven’t whereas rebuild first deletes everything and compiles everything from scratch.
If you did do that have you tried ensuring it regenerated/recompiled the code by deleting the Binaries and Intermediuate folders?
Even deleting the binaries and intermediate?
If you unzip the file you sent into a different folder, do you have issues with that one?
