hi community

i’m using UE4.15.1 for my game and i’m really enjoying fast compiling of my project but there is a simple problem , when i want to use GEngine-\>AddOnScreenDebugMessage i have to include “Engine.h” instead of “EngineMinimal.h” and its slowing down my compile time

i want to know is there any other way to print on screen without including Engine.h ??

best regards
