Has there been changes to how Actor Detail customization works in 4.11?
I am attempting to migrate plugins from 4.9 to 4.11 and running into a major problem with a custom camera actor that I have.
This custom actor is basically an enhanced camera that connects to our pipeline database. I have having two major issues porting from 4.9 to 4.11
On our custom CameraComponent which inherits from UCameraComponent, we had hidden the base CameraSettings. Worked fine in 4.9 but now it causes the stock camera details code to saying it can’t get the parameters for display. Removing this fixes it but of course now all the base camera settings are exposed to our artists which we don’t want.
This is a larger issue, but it appears there is some change with object references inside CustomizeDetails? Previously we would get the object being customized with DetailLayout.GetObjectsBeingCustomized(), but this is now returning invalid objects. Strangely it works fine if you drag out the actor but don’t let go. In other words, drag the actor from the left panel into your scene but keep holding down the mouse button. You can see all the properties displayed correctly, showing the right data. Soon as you release the mouse button though it will and the object references that were just working fine will all be invalid.
A snippet of the code causing the problem for point #2:
// Declared in the class
TWeakObjectPtr<AMPCCameraActor> Camera;
// Code in CustomizeDetails()
TArray<TWeakObjectPtr<UObject>> objects;
DetailLayout.GetObjectsBeingCustomized(objects);
Camera = Cast<AMPCCameraActor>(objects[0].Get());
//.....
// Inside omitted slate code...
SNew(STextBlock)
.Text_Lambda([this]()->FText {return FText::FromString(Camera->Job);} )
The Camera object passed into the lambda is valid up until such time as you release the object into the scene then it becomes invalid.
“We now have support for 3 lighting channels. You can set which channels a PrimitiveComponent or a LightComponent is in.”
Apologies is this is a dumb question but would this support UI objects with their own lighting model (custom lights) rendered at the same time as a 3d game scene? [and on mobile - while we’re asking…]
First of all : realy THANK YOU for Lighting Chanels. Even if it’s only 3 and for movable lights : it will help so much to light characters and other movable meshes.
But, in the row i wanted to test capsules shadows. The render is pretty cool. Even if I guess I’m working with a bad configuration, (i used the bones to the characters, so it’s not realy optimal). I just wanted to see how it’s work.
I don’t know if there are too many capsules, but when I used a movable skylight unreal crashed if I switch from stationary to movable. If I change the skylight intensity. If the Skylight is already in my scene and I activate the Capsule Direct Shadow (or Capsule Indirect Shadow).
Please, is it possible to learn more about it ?
I know there is a demo to introduce the feature, but à didn’t realy hear some restriction about this (even the more shapes we have, the higher the cost of the shadow will be).
And, sorry for my bad english, i hope i am understandable.
UE-24810 has already been resolved internally and should make it out in one of the upcoming preview releases. I’m not sure if it’ll be in 4.11 p2 yet or not though, but should make it into preview 3.
UE-24809 is still yet to be resolved.
Keep an eye out for 's 4.11 Preview posts for updates on current known 4.11 bugs being addressed.
Thank you!
Hi,

[] Fixed! UE-24857 Re-implement plugin changes in 4.11
I’ve been working a lot on Plugins for UE4 dev teams recently; I need more info about this please; where can I check fix details? ?
Does this fix means we don’t need to close UEditor anymore to reload plugin compiled code??
[=;452575]
no trace of UE-23366
please, I cannot work if the editor crashes whenever I close PIE or any BP with components!
Hi ,
UE-23366 has been fixed and has been marked for 4.11. Please bear in mind that preview builds are meant to show what is coming within the full build, however the do not encompass all fixes that will be available in the final product and are not intended for active development.

Same. Would love to hear more about what this means.

ok, good to know
could you please quickly check if this fix is from a re-opening of the issue? just to double check because UE-23366 was marked as fixed by 4.10.1 but in my case it wasn’t fixed.
I wouldn’t want to wait to 4.11 only to see the fix didn’t make it

Still nothing on UE-23368? It’s been months now, since the 4.10 preview.
Hi ,
UE-23368 is still under assessment by the development staff. Unfortunately, I do not have a timeframe of when a fix will be implemented. As I mentioned with , preview builds do not encompass the full list of fixes and/or features that a full release has. It would be best to wait until the full release notes to know what is being addressed within a release build.
Edit from : I have reached out to our developers to try to get some traction on this.

Hey . Do you already have an Answerhub post where we were investigating this for you? If so, please link it; and if not can you please make a new one? I’m concerned that you may have a similar but different issue than what we’ve logged in UE-23366, and I don’t want to neglect what you’re experiencing. I’ve looked into UE-23366 and the fix for that issue has definitely already made its way into the 4.11 Preview that you’re testing.
