AActor::ResetPropertiesForConstruction
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
Access: public
Description
Resets private actor properties to their defaults and re-seeds all FRandomStream members, so they will replay their random sequence from the beginning on the next construction.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is called automatically before re-running the construction script in the editor. Calling it manually in gameplay code will silently corrupt any randomness state your actor has accumulated at runtime.
- • FRandomStream members are always reset — there is no way to selectively exempt a stream. If you need persistent random state across construction reruns, store the seed externally and restore it in OnConstruction.

void Example
Called internally before RerunConstructionScripts C++
// Engine calls this automatically; illustrative only:
// ResetPropertiesForConstruction();
// RerunConstructionScripts();
// Manually triggering both in sequence is equivalent to what the editor does
// when you move an actor in the viewport.Tags
