Custom Anim Blueprint Strange things happen here

Hi Guys,

I’ve started recently trying to implement anim blueprints. I actually have a base template working and I’m now going to delve more into the details, but there are strange errors that occur if I change some things… and actually make the code more similar to the actual engine code… Which well I thought would be the best implementation… Do you guys happen to know why this happens?

  • When overriding the toolTipText, category and others of the UAnimGraphNode_Base, if I use LOCTEXT_NAMESPACE and respective LOCKTEXT, the node won’t appear in the anim graph. I can search but nothing appears. The moment I remove this and use the other code to generate the FText, the issue is solved. But using the LOCTEXT_NAMESPACE is the way to go in the source code of UE… :confused:

  • If I try to use UCLASS(MinimalAPI) it breaks everything and shows a lot of errors… Shouldn’t this work directly?

  • UAnimGraphNode_Base constantly gives the warning of incomplete type is not allowed.

I leave my code below… maybe these are a lot of questions and I’m taking too much of your time… :S But any help to any of these topics would be more than welcome!

Thank you so much!
