I came here years ago to complain that no one ever answers questions at the VR Editor Dedicated Forum… I ask, I wait a month . I ask again, I wait a year. Ask again, I wait three…
WELL, IT’S YEAR FIVE, and I ASK AGAIN:
Why can’t you guys Re-ENABLE ‘UNDO’ in the VR Editor? It always worked when you flipped your thumbstick to the Left you do progressive sequential Undo’s (and to the Right will Redo). Until 4.25, then it inexplicably was no longer was working and never did again.
Now, I am not a C++ programmer but I have found the Bool for you, that enables UNDO. It in the Engine Source C++ file called: VREditorInteractor.h
(see attached image) — In 5 years, this non-programmer has gotten closer to an answer than ALL OF EPIC. (not that anyone cared to try…)
I also found it referenced in this file:
UE_4.27\Engine\Source\Editor\VREditor\VREditorInteractor.cpp
WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH?
My life would be completely different today if I had this efficient tool that I had learned to do so much with and to rely on.
A SIMPLE UNDO, is that SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?
Tonight I got fed up and installed 4.24, 4.25, 4.26, 4.27. and 5.x.
Sure enough, of those ONLY in 4.24 does ‘Undo’ work in VR Mode.
I started routing around in the files anyways and finally found a reference!
Being a non-programmer, I don’t know what to do with this information… and apparently no one is left at Epic that understands anything other than ‘Desktop’ modality and ‘lighting’…
Can you imagine what it feels like to ask about this thing that is slowing down your work and career for 5 years?
(Literally… I was already starting a new SHOW for my THOUSANDS of Youtube Subscribers called:
‘WORKING (while) WHILE IN VR’
but this stupid problem made that … just plain not doable. VR Editor would have been the center and main tool of any such endeavor,…
I am (after 7 years in Unreal) slowly switching to UNITY because they care about the TECHNOLOGY of the FUTURE: VR
and don’t leave it ABANDONED and Naked on the side of the road in a Desert.
Unity VR Editor has: UNDO!
(also you don’t have to CLICK TWICE on every object you want to pick up!
(You should see the RIDICULOUS ANSWER I got at the ‘Dedicated Forum’ when I asked about that many years ago…)
Do go look at the dedicated forum, I have asked over and over about ‘Undo in VR Editor’ for YEARS.
Why in the world can’t you turn on VR Editor Modes UNDO?
Like Poser and VUE used to be, a tool is USELESS without undo!
I’ve long since given up on this, I just wanted the truth to be known. I had the excitement and energy years ago, but the spiritual drain of not being heard,. of not being helped when it is sucha silly tiny problem for osomeone in the knoow (it is a Boolean Variable,
I don’t know where to YURN IT ON but I know it will be a SIMPLE MATTER once an EPIC EMPLOYESS DEIGNS to LOOK THIS WAY<… (Never…)
They don’t care a whit about their user base we are all but invisible. If anyone does see this I found some documentation (but it is Egyptian Hieroglyphics to me) ,.
