'GetActorLabel' is not a member of 'ACharacter'

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi I’m having huge trouble packaging my game for the jam.

The game runs nice under the editor but packaging fails.

Apparently, I’m using GetActorLabel() and SetActorLabel() on my custom character class instances and UE doesn’t want it when packaging but again, it’s fine in the editor.
Log in question is:

Thanks for your time.

Remarks

Returns this actor’s current label. Actor labels are only available in development builds.
I have used Array Iterator Indexes.

I wish I knew this sooner so I could have finish the game for the Jam.

Yeah labels are editor only I believe, (defined by the WITH_EDITOR flags).

You can use Actor Tags though, they work in all builds.
