FString overloaded params: none of the 11 overloads could convert all the argument types

I got this error trying to overload a method for message debugging purposes:

]

I’m not sure, but this means FString is not supported for overloading? I didn’t understand this error

Here’s the relevant part of the code:

.h

void DebugMethod_LowPriority(FString ClassName, FString MethodName, TArray<FString> AdditionalInformation);

void DebugMethod_LowPriority(FString ClassName, FString MethodName);

In the end it has nothing to do with what I thought, the problem is in this line, inside the method definition:

UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s"), FinalMessage);

FinalMessage is a FString.

I need to find the proper way to include this FString correctly in this case.

Dereferencing the FString does the trick

 UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s"), *FinalMessage);

Sorry for the confusion that led to this thread, at least I got to solve this by myself (and Rama, as always A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Unreal Engine Forums) =]
