Blueprint opening empty

[Voxely]

Hi,

I’m following this tutorial : A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums

And I’m at this step :

1. Click on Save in the Content Browser to save your new Skeletal Mesh and its associated assets.

2. Navigate back to the Blueprints folder in the Content Browser.

3. Open BP_FPSCharacter and switch to Components Mode.

(NOTE: There is an additional step required as a workaround to an current issue we are looking into. To be able to find the FirstPersonMesh in the component list, you will need to delete the BP_FPSCharacter blueprint and recreate it. After doing this you can continue with step 4.)

4. Find the new FirstPersonMesh we added. Notice that it is a child of the FirstPersonCameraComponent, so it will always be attached to the camera. You may have to expand the FirstPersonCameraComponent dropdown.

but when I click on Bp_FPSCharacter I only get an empty window, I trie window>reset layout but this did nothing.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

I suggest re-creating your BP. If this does not work, then you must’ve saved your current layout, which would explain why resetting layout would not do anything. I suggest you reset your prefs

recreating it worked, thanks

However each times I close UE4 and get back to it I have to recreate the BP in order to see what’s inside, quite bothersome

From this post:

If you open a blueprint and the view is mostly blank like above use the menu of that blueprint editor window and click on Window->Class Defaults

This will show you a message at the top that says “Note: This is a data only blueprint, so only the default values are shown. It does not have any script or variables. If you want to add some, Open the Full Blueprint Editor”

Click the blue link that reads “Open the Full Blueprint Editor.” You will now be able to use that blueprint again like normal.

Why this is happening I do not know. But this will help you get around this bug.

I know this is really old, but for anyone stumbling upon this in Google:
The details panel may be hidden. Try clicking Window > Details. This fixed it for me!
