  4. Set an out put to an Integer > Set Integer value to 5 (Screenshot_01)
  5. Create a new actor class Blueprint > Name 'New_BP' > Open New_BP
  6. Create a new variable, make its type Private_BP > Create a get reference for the variable
  7. Pull off the reference and get the function Private_Test then add a print string
  8. Have the integer output of Private_Test connect to the print string (Screenshot_02)
  9. Compile the Blueprint
    Results: The Blueprint Compiles with no issue, even though playing in editor wont pass the value
    Expected: The function should flag a warning that the value will not pass through
