    BeginPlay VS Constructor?

   I have been trying to spawn a certain object when the game starts and have been using constructor to do so, but nothing is happening. DebugMessages I surrounded it with are neither firing. Is there some crucial difference between BeginPlay and contructor?

   This is due to that when the constructor is called the Actor or world is potentaly not loaded.
   You can use BeginPlay if the actor is placed in the world, or PostInitelize methods to do this.
