I’ve been working on converting some blueprint logic over to C++. One of the things I have is a button. The button can be pressed in VR and has a delegate that is called to notify any registered functions that the button press occurred. Here is how the delegate is declared in the AButtonItem.h class.
#pragma once
#include "BaseItem.h"
#include "ButtonItem.generated.h"
DECLARE_DYNAMIC_MULTICAST_DELEGATE(FButtonItemPressedSignatrue);
UCLASS()
class AButtonItem : public ABaseItem
{
GENERATED_BODY()
protected:
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Touch)
float myMaxButtonPress;
public:
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = Callback)
FButtonItemPressedSignatrue ButtonItem_OnPressed;
};
The delegate’s broadcast function is then being called when the button is pressed like so:
ButtonItem_OnPressed.Broadcast();
(This function should defiantly be called because I have a debug statement that prints right before the call. Its also important to note this was all working when it was blueprint logic.)
Here is where I try to register with the delegate and how I declared the function that will be called:
WeaponMaker.h:
UFUNCTION()
void OnNextBladeButtonPressed();
WeaponMaker.cpp:
void AWeaponMaker::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
TArray<USceneComponent*> weaponMakerComponents;
this->GetRootComponent()->GetChildrenComponents(true, weaponMakerComponents);
for (int componentIndex = 0; componentIndex < weaponMakerComponents.Num(); componentIndex++)
{
if (weaponMakerComponents[componentIndex]->GetName().Equals("NextBladeButton") == true)
{
myNextBladeButton = (AButtonItem*)weaponMakerComponents[componentIndex];
break;
}
}
if (myNextBladeButton != NULL)
{
myNextBladeButton->ButtonItem_OnPressed.AddDynamic(this, &AWeaponMaker::OnNextBladeButtonPressed);
}
}
I put a breakpoint and a print statement in the function OnNextBladeButtonPressed so I should immediately know when it works but its never happening. I also re-created the blueprint itself from scratch but still no luck. Sometimes on compile I get a crash due to the InvocationList being invalid but I haven’t found much info on that issue either. Bottom line is, OnNextBladeButtonPressed is not getting called when it should be.
