4.11.1 FormatText Breaks BP Compile

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

We are using some functionality from CodeSpartan’s MMO Starter Kit and the following is crashing.

FormatText previously worked without issue in the first screenshot, but currently as of 4.11.1 one of the Character BP fails to compile and hangs the editor. I’m including a simple fix that works for us just in case anyone comes looking about this. But figure I should report this as it appears a little bug has crept into FormatText.

Hi AlienChrysalis,

Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce this error on my end with the information provided.

  • Does this occur in a clean, blank project with no additional content or is it limited to one project?
  • What steps can I take to reproduce this error on my end?
  • Is this limited to a specific asset or type of blueprint?
  • Does this seem to occur only after specific actions, such as saving, closing, and re-loading the editor?
