Construction Script Node NOT present

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

This is a first for me. I’m using the side scroller template, and my problem is with the Side Scroller Character’s Construction Script.

Afaik I didn’t touch the the Side Scroller Character’s Construction Script until after editing the side scroller character Event Graph.

I just now went to add some stuff to the construction script and couldn’t locate the Construction Script node, which means, I think, nothing can execute therein. While in the construction script, in the details panel area under Graph it says “Graph is not editable”

I’ve tried restarting the project but that didn’t fix it. I’ve also tried adding the CS node manually, but it doesn’t appear I can do so.

Does anybody know how to get that Construction Script Node back?

According to this “The execution entry point into the Construction Script Graph is through a ConstructionScript node that is always present.” lol wtf, in my case almost always.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Edit: Seems I had to kill/close the Construction Script window/tab and then reopen it (in this case by double-clicking on “Construction Script” in the Functions group - see the screenshot ryanjon2040 posted). The Construction Script node reappeared when the Construction script opened up fresh.

It’s possible the reason it disappeared was because I had 3 or 4 different templates open at the same time and was flipping between their graphs and project settings before encountering this problem. All of the projects are/were super lightweight and I had plenty of unused RAM available (about 6gb of 16 total).

You might have closed the ConstructionScript graph. You can open it by double clicking on it in Functions group.

Hey thanks ryanjon2040.

The construction script itself is in the Functions list you ss’d for me.
I can click on it there, and see the graph, and add nodes to it. But there’s no construction script node in it.

Do you know if there might be a way to force regenerate a fresh construction script for a blueprint (in this case a character BP)?

Nevermind. It looks like it got fixed. I don’t know which one did it, but I:

  • Deleted the Activate node (the only node that was added to the construction script) along with the camera reference connected to it
  • Closed the construction script by clicking on the {X} on its tab.
  • Reopened the construction script by double-clicking “Construction Script” in the Functions group, and it magically reappeared.

Thanks for the help, man, much appreciated. I hope it didn’t take too much of your time.
