[Crash][UMG] Project Crashes on Launch After Compiling Blueprint

Nylira · August 16, 2014, 7:27am

Editor Version: 4.4.0
OS: Mac OS X
10.9.4 Hardware: Apple MacBook Pro 15" 2012 Retina

I was attempting to attach a nameplate widget to every Item in the game world. In the Item blueprint, it went something like this:

[In the Construction Script]

Add Widget “Nameplate”
Set Widget to Variable
Set Widget Screen Alignment(0.5, 0.5)
Set Widget Screen Size(120px, 40px)
Set Widget Screen Location(used “Convert World Location to Screen Location” to get nameplate to show over item)
Add Widget to Viewport (Absolute Layout checked)

When I attempted to compile the item blueprint, the editor crashed. On subsequent launches, my project crashes on opening.

Notes

What may be interesting is that I compiled my blueprint after adding each widget node, and my project only started crashing after I hooked up the “Add to Viewport” node.

You can bind directly to properties too, no need to wrap them in getter functions if all they do is just return the value as is

I’ll have to add some more checks to invalidate the bindings if the signature changes, because the vm is expecting the exact same signature it creates when it generates the binding.

Nylira · August 16, 2014, 2:47pm

Okay, I’ve found out the problem and the solution.

The problem

In my nameplate widget, I assumed I could bind the text property to a function with an input. Apparently adding an input variable to a bind function in a widget blueprint crashes UE4.

The solution

Instead of adding an input variable to my bind text function, I created a global variable in the widget blueprint called “ItemName” that I set the return value to.

In my Item blueprint, I cast the widget to a nameplate widget and set the “ItemName” variable in the widget. Done:

How did you you set widget location? I’ve been trying to figure something out for a game of mine.

Nylira · August 18, 2014, 4:44pm

This isn’t my blueprint, but this is how I did it: UMG Documentation for 4.4 Preview - UI - Unreal Engine Forums

Hope it helps!

This is great, thanks!

For me it crashes all the time (4.7.6). Tried the last two hours, to set a text from the parent actor.

Bind to property, set this from the actor on Begin Play → crash
Used getter function per binding → crash
Created blueprint script component to store params, inject those from the construction script of the parent actor -->crash
The same from Begin Play → crash
Tried to use a structure to save the params, created structure variable in widet blueprint, tried to save → crash

I’ve given up.

Hello

I was unable to reproduce the crashes that you listed above with the information provided. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing. So that we can try and get a report for the issues that you listed.

Quick questions:

Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
If so, could you provide a more detailed set of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
Could you provide screen shots of any blueprints that may be involved with this issue?
