I’ve started from the Unreal example of flying in c++. I’ve added some classes to the project, but when I press play the UE Editor crashes even if I remove the newly added classes. I attach the log
I don’t see any crash from the log file. Are you sure this is the right one?
I confused log files, here is the right one: link text
Looks like a null pointer exception. Double check/debug these two functions:
[Callstack] 0x00000000C6941FB0 UE4Editor-Drone_follower.dll!AActorsController::ReturnNewData() [c:\users\4r35\documents\unreal projects\drone_follower\source\drone_follower\actorscontroller.cpp:42]

Yes, but I does not found any error in these functions…

}Yes, I do not see any error, is declared here in the ActorsController.h file:

private:
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Remote Address")

};I believe the problem is in this assignment:
*NewData = ReceivedData;
How are you allocating memory to the pointer before the assignment?
The Ball class creates a local variable and then calls that method:
FCustomPoseData NewData;
Super::Tick(DeltaTime);

We’ve recently made a switch to a new bug reporting method using a more structured form. Please visit the link below for more details and report the issue using the new Bug Submission Form. Feel free to continue to use this thread for community discussion around the issue.
