On the above page I believe these is a typo in Section 2.7 where it says to “Include the following header files to FPSCamera.h.”. That file doesn’t exist in the project at the moment and I believe it should be “Include the following header files to FPSCharacter.h.”

Using Unreal Editor 4.25, in the “ **Programming Quick Start** ” guide, \*\*section 4 \*\*“Compile and Test Your C++ Code”, step 3, the cube doesn’t appear in the perspective viewport when I drag it there, nor does the Details panel contain a Transform section for the new FloatingActor (and there is no red dot next to its name in the outliner, unlike the step 4 screenshot), unless I click the Compile button at the top of the Unreal Editor window – just compiling the code in Visual Studio is not enough, **the last sentence of step 1 is not optional**.

Sorry for wasting your time with such a trivial misstatement but I just spent far too long finding out why I couldn’t follow along.

I’m trying to learn the API through the documentation, but the documentation I’m working with doesn’t seem to work.

Maybe I’m posting to the wrong area, but my mesh isn’t spawning. I noticed that the documentation is for v.24 and I’m on v.25. Was there an API update in v.25? If so, could someone point me to the change log that explains what part they changed that doesn’t allowed official documentation to work? I’ve gone over my code a couple times to make sure I didn’t typo, I think its all good on my end. Thanks

Yeah so it seems the code you guys have provided does not compile at all. Without the code working the whole doc doesnt work at all. I dont if it could just be something changed in an update but it just does not work. I have fixed it but the fixed code does not affect the project at all and doesnt seem to do what the doc says it will. Thank You!

Hello,

I think [UnrealBuildTool](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/BuildTools/UnrealBuildTool/index.html)documentation has nothing to do with UnrealBuildTool 🙂

Its talking about conceptial stuff.

But my IDE executes this: “\<path\>\Build.bat” \<project\_name\> HTML5 Shipping -Project="\<some\>.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild

And there’s no doc for other options than “-WaitMutex.”. I don’t think it even mentions there’s BAT file to use the tool.

Sadly there’s no API docs either. Look at this (random example): “FLauncherChunkInstaller” description: “Launcher Implementation of the platform chunk install module” but what is it doing? why did you have to implement this?

\*\*Summary: \*\*We need practical everyday life (with real-world examples) access to what’s inside UE4 in docs.

[Blueprint Interface] There is a point that once i was confused could be added in Blueprint Interface page. Please consider it. Thank you.  
Note : “Interface’s function events could only be created when these functions have no output parameter.”  
I check the interface page (Location : Blueprints Visual Scripting - Specialized Node Groups - Types of Blueprints - Blueprints Interface), there is no tip about that.  
So if it’s appropriate, could you add a tip for that to make others know that? And it will be nice if adding more mechanisms. [RIGHT]Thanks for your looking over.[/RIGHT]

When reading documentation on any page that lets you open a higher quality version of a diagram after closing the diagram you are unable to scroll up or down because the body overflow is set to hidden.

Is there any way to get the videos to load faster, or be available for download (offsite)?  
I travel, and spend a lot of time in countries that restrict internet access. Mostly from the US, so US based sites and mainly youTube get blocked, or funneled into a 64kps stream to check what is being watched.  
If there is a selection for non youtube hosting, or download, that would help a lot.  
Currently, I can watch 12 seconds of video, then wait 20-30 seconds for the next 12 seconds to load. Since it streams, it’s not saving the earlier parts, so If I want to hear again, what I just heard, it will take 20-30 seconds to load that part again.  
You can imagine, this makes watching a video nonsensical.  
Even with a VPN, it’s impossible to watch at higher definition.

This is not an issue with store purchases, or downloading content for the lessons. Just the videos.😕

thanks for any help in this.

Hi. I am currently using the online subsystem for my game. For the [CreateSession](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Plugins/OnlineSubsystem/Interfaces/IOnlineSession/CreateSession/1/index.html) function it is noted in the docs that a delegate function is called when it is finished. However, this is not stated for the [FindSessions](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Plugins/OnlineSubsystem/Interfaces/IOnlineSession/FindSessions/1/index.html)function. This might be obvious for some, but first time looking at it makes it confusing.

To my real question: is there a way for normal users to submit some form of “pull-request” for the documentation? Sometimes, even important functions are completely undocumented, and you have to dig down in the source code. It would be nice if developers could contribute to your documentation, making it easier for the newbs 🙂
