Using BuildGraph "Submit" option leaves files Read-Only

I’m sorry for all of the posts - been having a rough time with BuildGraph today. I used the “BuildEditorAndTools.xml” sample BuildGraph to build the engine and submit the files with Perforce. However, after I did that, all those files became read-only and I can no longer build the engine. Is that a general Perforce setting? Where do I change that? I didn’t see anything in the BuildGraph Submit documentation. Or do I need to have something in the BuildGraph file to check the files out first (although if that was the case, wouldn’t it already be in their example?)

Thanks!

You would need to set the file types in perforce to always be writable on the client (+w). However there should be a check out step (IIRC when I messed with BuildGraph).

Thanks - yeah, I eventually figured it out. My files were being marked with the incorrect type…
