Another significant complication in this course will be encountered in the “Communicating Between UMG and Blueprints” section, due to the fact the Darts Assets imported from Epic already have UI coding that the course instructs the user to do, so this section involves out of sequence steps and some debugging.

Creating certain variables (“Button Action” and “Value”) and custom events (“UI_CoreButtonPressed”) at the outset that already exist in W_CoreButton will not be possible, and will crash Unreal if you don’t realize what is happening. The key tell is an alert message in opening W_CoreButton that "following member variables in blueprint /…/ have invalid type. Would you like to remove them?, and a number of compiler errors already in the provided asset.

Anyway, to get your bearings, look in the DartsAssets project you’ll have imported from, and be aware that there is functional code in there that the tutorial presumes doesn’t exist, and this makes life difficult. I’m still needing to take a few steps back to work around it, as there are a number of compiler errors that can follow on from this if you don’t take stock at the outset.

Thanks for posting these, ooghe. Do you think these errors might be unique to your project? I wonder if anyone else has had the same problems.

Do you recommend continuing with the course?
