[BUG] 4.12.4 Construction Script is not working anymore !

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

[SOLVED]

Hi ,

i’ve installed the latest version of UE 4 (UE 4.12.4 version ) and since then whatever actor i create and whatever i want to do in the construction script it just doesn’t work anymore …

First thing i’ve done :

  • create a new actor BP
  • in the construction script i’ve made a simple "print string " with the “hello world”
  • place the actor in the world and moving it to “launch” the construction script … nothing happend … but the print string is effective in the output log … (only here )

Second thing i’ve done :

  • a bit more complex stuff , with some whileloop , foreach , add child actor component , etc …
    and here again nothing happend (even in the output log )

so i don’t understand … is this a bug in the 4.12.4 ? is this just an option i need to check in this particular version ? it’s actually really problematic .

I hope someone is going to find a solution because it’s really annoying and i actually can’t work .

thanks for reading me and have a nice day !!

It’s probably something else causing a failed compile maybe, construction script works in my project in 4.12.4, I use it on a lot of Actors.

Thanks for your answer !

i’ve not tried with another project , maybe mine is corrupted in some way …

i’ll try tomorrow with another blanck project and i’ll come back here to say if it’s working or not :wink:

for print to work you need to enable ‘show stats’ in the viewport. i have no clue about the other isssue.

Hi !

Thx Harcarik for this tips :wink: i don’t why in 4.12.4 when you create a new project the "show stats " is unchecked by default where in other version this checkbox is active by default … kinda weird when we don’t know the tips :confused:

Finally the print string is showing me the information i want but there is still a lot of problem whith this version of UE but i’ll make a new post about it :wink:

Anyway thx guys for your answers and have a nice day ! :slight_smile:
