Hello! This is more of a general question than an issue. Is there a specific reasoning as to why the ROS message types are structs managed by TSharedPtrs instead of UObjects or UStructs? Being unable to utilize the messages directly in Blueprints seems like a huge restriction.

Hi @Sage-of-Mirrors
This is mostly due to the architecture of the project. The pure communication via rosbridge was developed and tested with a separate library (https://github.com/Sanic/rosbridge2cpp). This is why the data structures don't know anything about UE4, because it was meant to be usable in different contexts as well.
