So I’m pretty new to Unreal and right now i have to do a project in it for my uni course and I’ve been having this problem for over a few hours now. It’s probably just something very simple but i can not for the love of god find out what the problem is (should also mention that I’m really new to programming and blueprints).
Basically I added to my blueprint a new variable that is object type related to another blueprint, and it’s also an array. My professor gives us this PDF where he gives us instructions of what to do in a lot of detail but I can still not find what the problem is even after reading that thing at least 50 times. I’m supposed to put this array I just did into the Event Graph and then, from its pin, get these nodes that are related to arrays (I think). The thing is that none of them appear when I search. Hopefully you guys can figure out very easily what the problem is (should also mention that the main node I was looking for and didn’t show up was ForEachLoop).
So you add your variable as a new Array of Objects, then you drag it into the blueprint graph, and you click “Get” on it.
Then you draw a line from the pin, and do like this:
click the “Utilities” then the “Array” drop downs if they aren’t auto opened. (that surprised me a bit that those don’t auto open, but i almost always start typing the name of the node i’m looking for, which auto opens things)
It looks like an array within an array. I think you over-engineered the task a bit.
It should be of type BP Ceiling Light (reference) that you then need to convert to an array (like in my example)
If bp ceiling light is some sort of external reference to an array (a bit strange) then try to iterate the reference directly (set the right array to just 1 instance of the class)
BP Ceiling Light is simply a blueprint and I also have several instances of the blue print on my scene (in total it’s 12 instances). My goal would be to create a variable that would be an array of all this instances (this being the variable I showcased, “Lights”). Maybe it would help if I showed the partion of the PDF I’m trying to follow (BP_IndoorLight is supposed to be my BP_CeilingLights and the BP_LightsButoon is supposed to be where I’m doing all of this).
Don’t think so. The variable is referring the right thing, which would be the blueprint for the ceiling lights and I also already put inside this array, in the editor, all the instances I have and once I put the Lights variable in the event graph and try to search for the ForEachLoop node, nothing shows up
Hi, can you share a snapshot with your blueprint - the Array variable in the blueprint and your Menu that shows up when you drag out from the pin - similar to the snapshot 3dRaven shows that has the ForEachLoop in it…
sry, I didn’t quite get what you mean. I only have this one array that contains all the lights I have on my scene. The only thing I’m doing is referencing the bp from where all those instances come from.
