[BUG] Disappearing Event Graph - cannot get it back!

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi guys,

I’ve a fairly nasty bug that is affecting my work. It is possible to completely lose event graph in certain Blueprints, and once lost, it cannot be gotten back.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Create a native subclass of UDamageType (Blueprintable, BlueprintType, MinimalAPI) - it needs no members.
  2. Create a Blueprint of this new subclass.
  3. Close event graph window.

event graph does not appear in My Blueprint tab. Closing editor without saving anything does not alleviate this issue, as this is now permanent for assets of this type. I have tried reparenting UDamageType to AActor, as well as removing const in UCLASS macro, and it has not solved anything.

This could put a serious dent in people’s workflow - so please help me get my event graph back!

As a side note - there’s a typo in UCLASS macro for UDamageType (UBlueprinable instead of UBlueprintable).

Thanks!

I’ll second this, i accidentally closed event graph on my Character Anim Blueprint, and cannot get it back!

real bummer, if someone knows a workaround or a console command to get it back, that would rock.

Cheers to all boffins!

So you don’t see Event Graph in left panel above your list of functions?

" event graph does not appear in My Blueprint tab."

No, it’s not there and it appears there is simply no way to get it back. Once a blueprint is in this state, it cannot be fixed.

Search “EventGraph”

There you go its back. Cant see how your a “STAFF” member as you clearly have no idea how to use Unreal Engine.

I hit this condition today in 4.11.1. I was able to fix it by closing all of other tabs (Construction Script, viewport, functions, etc.) and then closing and opening blueprint. It brought back Construction Script and Event Graph tabs when I reopened it. I had to go to “Window > Viewport” to then restore viewport tab.
