Description

A crash occurs after dragging an 'Empty Character' actor into the viewport and attempting to add the 'PuzzlePlayerController' as a component by dragging it into the components list via the 'Details' tab.

I found the way around this crash is to simply use the 'Add/Edit Script' button within the details tab which converts the actors into a blueprint. Compiling the blueprint after doing so avoids the crash.

The video link below provides accurate reproducible steps.

Steps to Reproduce

[Link Removed]

1. Create new blank BP Puzzle Project
2. Drag the 'Empty Character' actor from the 'Modes' tab into the active viewport.
3. Drag the 'PuzzlePlayerController' from the content browser to the components list within the details tab of the 'Empy Character'
4. Press PIE.

Outcome: Crash occurs after pressing play.

Expected: User is required to create into blueprint and compile before playing, or receives warning the actor will not accept component or compile correctly.
