adding a LUA component into a Project while editor is running - requires Editor restart to work

[beo6]

I just created a completely new Project, moved some components into the project.

Things i noticed.

- Editing Properties of the Component does not work and shows just empty values. (floats = 0.0, booleans = false) even if defaults are defined differently then that.

- Drag + Drop into Flowgraph does not show any Events.

- Not sure if related,  but the Camera node where i added a component onto, was gone after restart even though i saved the map. And all Empty nodes where still there that i created after the camera node.

Is this component inside subfolder? I think i had similar issues when component was just in Components folder

[beo6]

Yes. it has its own Subfolder, But the Folder contains 2 Components that can be used together.

Just used my Camera Component:

Changing the default values in the JSON file will not change the values of entities that have already had the component assigned. When you assign the component, the default values are applied to the entity and do not get reloaded from the file after that.

As far as I can tell, this is working correctly. Please let me know if there is any problems.

I do not know what these mean. What event would be shown?

Regarding the camera node, if there is a problem can you provide exact instructions for what I should do to make the problem occur?
