When you have an object (such as TArray< >
) as a UPROPERTY()
member of UCLASS()
, you need to declare that member as UPROPERTY()
(even if you won't edit it in blueprints), otherwise TArray
will not stay allocated properly.
Say we have a UCLASS()
macro as follows:
UCLASS() class MYPROJECT_API AWarrior : public AActor { //TArray< FSoundEffect > Greets; // Incorrect UPROPERTY() TArray< FSoundEffect > Greets; // Correct };
You'd have to list the TArray
member as UPROPERTY()
for it to be properly reference counted. If you don't do so, you'll get an unexpected memory error type bug sitting about in the code.
