BeginPlay and Tick do not work for blueprint class inherited from C++ class

Question

The problem is that the begin play and tick functions do not work in a blueprint inherited from a C++ class.

If the blueprint does not inherit from a C++ class, then the functions work perfectly.

Functions declaration in C++ parent class:

protected:
    virtual void BeginPlay() override;

public:
    //Called every frame
    virtual void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;

Child BP:

Nothing appears on startup.

Answer 1

Blueprint events are not the C++ defined functions. You need to call a public C++ function with an event.

I copied exactly what you showed and hit play. My screen was filled with text.

Answer 2

The problem was that the base C++ class, from which the APocketDrill class is inherited, did not contain a call to the Super method in BeginPlay.
