Quick Use

Use pre-created actor with component

• Spawn actor class in level: ASplineMeshed class
• Create child actor class from: ASplineMeshed class

Add component to your actor in BP

Use one of this:

• Attach component to actor in component tree
• Spawn during runtime: Search for "Spawn From Class"
  • Promote object to variable to keep it alive
  • This is only required to keep object alive during gameplay and prevent UE from destroying it.

Use in C++

To access Spline Meshed component or class:

#include "SplineMeshedComponent.h" 
#include "SplineMeshedActor.h"  

It is UObject, so it must comply with unreal engine rules for objects lifecycle. Store ref value as any UObject if you want it to persist in game for longer.

/* Declaration in class, write initialization in CDO */
UPROPERTY()
TObjectPtr<USplineMeshedComponent> SplineMeshCmp;

Classes hierarchy

Core component:

• USplineMeshedComponent : core component
• USplineMeshedComponent_Extension : modified component

Classes:

• ASplineMeshed : Actor with core component
• ASplineMeshed_AbstractExtension : Actor with modified component

Extending functionality

Class has exposed function to use and override modification of every mesh for custom desire.

• Create child class of any component:
  • Override function OnMeshSpawn (for spawn customization)
  • Override function Detection (for collision detection)

Customizing pipeline

All functions useful for creating custom pipeline are exposed for Blueprint.
