Why does my async-loaded class fail to spawn this Tick?

AsyncLoadClassAsset returns mid-Tick. SpawnActor needs world fully ready. Cache the loaded class; spawn on next Tick or via deferred timer.

OnLoaded callback timing?

Latent node continues execution after load. The current Tick may already be in render phase. SpawnActor on the latent path can fail; defer.

Save loaded class. Set Timer (0.0 delay) to call SpawnActor next Tick. Or BindEventToTick with single-shot guard.

Fix: Async Loaded Class Won't Spawn Same Tick

Quick answer: Cache loaded class. Set Timer (0.0) to spawn next Tick.

Async load completes mid-Tick. SpawnActor on the same path fails. Defer to next frame.

The Fix

BP:
  Async Load Class Asset (SoftClassRef)
  On Loaded:
    Set CachedClass = LoadedClass
    Set Timer by Event (delay 0.0) -> SpawnNow

  SpawnNow:
    Spawn Actor From Class (CachedClass, Transform)

Timer with 0 delay runs next frame. World ready; spawn succeeds.

Verifying

Async chain spawns reliably. Without defer: intermittent fail.

“Cache. Defer. Spawn next.”
