Dear Midnight,
I can confirm that the BP node does not work in packaged game, the function is returning false,
but I can also state that the CPP version works!!!
is a bug that Epic will have to address
I will post a answer hub on it shortly

None that I see, since Iâm able to select the verticies of any mesh in project if I select it. Like you said, itâs just odd that some meshes while selected wonât let me highlight verticies of other meshes for me to snap to. Here is a picture.
The mesh on the right is the problem mesh (with 92 verticies). The one on the left doesnât have many either. I donât have the total, but feel confident in under 200. In the left side of the image, I selected the left mesh, and hovered my cursor over the right meshâs vertex (hence the blue square). works fine, and I can snap the left mesh to the right mesh on that vertex. In the right side of the image, I have the selected the right mesh same vertex and wanted to snap it to the same vertex on the left mesh, but (although you canât see the cursor) the blue square does not appear even when I hover over it. In fact, none of the verticies of any mesh will highlight for that particular mesh being selected. So Iâm unable to snap any vertex on the right mesh to any vertex on any other mesh.
I dont know what to do about just yet as I cannot reproduce it on my side, I will keep thinking about it though! If you learn anything else about which meshes end up not being responsive let me know!
Hi. I did everything mentioned on thread to build a packaged game using the nodes to grab screen resolutions, but it simply wonât work on built games. Could you explain a bit cleaner how to build a package using these blueprints?

Dear Friends at Epic, The situation here is a little complicated. I made a node in my VictoryBPLibrary plugin so that people can get a list of available screen resolutions in Blueprints, as this functionality does not seem to be in blueprints. The...
I am asking Epic to help me get the Screen Resolutions node working because there seems to be a bug on Epicâs side that I can do nothing about on my side.
If you want the Get Screen Resolutions node to work you should support that answer hub post

Would you be able to supply a version that works with the 4.3 source ? As with the 4.2.1 âOfficialâ build AdMob and GameCenter donât work. And I build some functions that depend on your Victory Plugin.

To recompile a plugin is pretty easy (but not obvious):
If there are major engine changes it can break plugins easily (4.2 -> 4.3), and will need to be updated by plugin author. But any minor releases should be fine.
You have to have Visual studio 2013 installed
The plugin must contain the source, in the âsourceâ folder.
To recompile the plugin with what ever version of the engine you are running:
Make sure it is enabled in the plugins section.
Only for âBP onlyâ projects where there is no code :
File -> Add code to project, I use ânoneâ and just keep hitting next and add the âMyClassâ.
Select Yes if you would like to edit code.
Make sure you open your project in visual studio (already for you in previous step), it should be the PROJECT solution file for visual studio
C:\UnrealPersonalProjects\Unreal43project\Unreal43project.sln
Right click on your project name under Games -> âUnreal43Projectâ [the name of your project]. Then Select build. It will recompile the project and plugins
With that being said: Just to note there are some problems:
There are some changes that needs to fix, iâll look into it later about to run out the house.
The OVERRIDE macro was changed to override in 4.3 and is an easy fix. Refactor âOVERRIDEâ -> âoverrideâ and it goes away.

Thanks for but goes a bit above me at moment
Other than that compiling 4.3 works fine, but how ever when i try to package my project for it fails the build each with a error msg.
Guess I have to wait for Epic to really start supporting the indie development scene by enabling/fixing the GameCenter and AdMob functionality that isnât working in 4.2.1

I have included the source code with every single version of the plugin that Iâve ever released!
You should look more carefully through the download
I just downloaded it myself to double check
Itâs under the âSourceâ folder
Make sure you use the download I provide in thread.
So compiling your plugin with the 4.3 source gives me the following errorâs and warnings
**Errors:
**

So like i asked kindly in several PMâs itâs not as easy as putting your source in the plugins folder and rebuilding. So if thereâs anybody out here that has a solution or is willing to compile 's plugin (as heâs not up to it for now) with the 4.3 source it would be very helpful.
Regards.

@KillerSneak
You are probably not using the Editor mode for your project anyway, so just delete the Editor portion
delete the Stuff in Source/VictoryEdEngine
and open file:
VictoryPlugin.uplugin
and delete module
{
"Name" : "VictoryEdEngine",
"Type" : "Editor",
"LoadingPhase" : "PreDefault"
},
and also realize I am a very busy person so if I canât respond to you on your sense of it is not a personal slight, its cause I am busy
And also because you are asking for 4.3 support before it is even officially out yet
I share what I can with the Community for free, when I have available to do so.
No one has paid me to share what I share with Community, keep that in mind.
If you are interested in contracting my assist in a paid format send me a pm.

Two New Nodes
On Answerhub someone requested these nodes:
Get Controller ID ~ takes in player controller and gives the ULocalPlayerâs ControllerID
Get Player State PlayerID ~ returns the replicated unique PlayerID for the supplied Player Controller!
bool PlayerController_GetControllerID(APlayerController* ThePC, int32& ControllerID);
bool PlayerState_GetPlayerID(APlayerController* ThePC, int32& PlayerID);

Again you can download and use these nodes as a plugin, even in non-C++ project!

Oh dang, very nice . Thatâs one thing, during my making sure multiplayer works right for my game, that I found kinda annoying.
I ended up having to pass along the character reference to places where having the controller index for the client would have been perfect.
If, that is, these work how Iâm thinking (but it seems like they would).

Just wanted to quickly drop by and say a really big thanks. Really needed that Set Mouse Position function so I could use the default mouse, and therefore the default hitboxes, it simplified my UI blueprints a tonne!
Thank you!!! Youâre a hero.
and thereâs no source for the VictoryPlugin just a download with the dll âŚ
