VR Expansion Plugin

Hey there! Thank you very much for your library. It’s helped me prototype rapidly and learn a lot about ue4.

I have run into an issue that I’d like to show you really quickly. I’m at a point in my code where I want to modify your library (to extend an interface and to experiment with making attachments generic), but the issue that I’m running into is that whenever I change any code in your plugin I get an error and nothing will compile.

For example, even if I add a commented out line (as seen here in sourcetree)

[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“data-tempid”:“temp_160817_1553818660263_296”}[/ATTACH]

I get crazy error:

[ATTACH=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“data-tempid”:“temp_160818_1553818691440_452”}[/ATTACH]

I am not very sure what that’s about. Removing my commented line lets everything compile just fine. I figured I should clense my project of all binaries, intermediates, derived data caches so I did that – for my project and for the individual plugins. That didn’t work.

I really do appreciate your time and thank you for reading!

Mmmm, well the images didn’t load so its kind of hard to help you debug, try hosting out of the forums (imgur) and linking them instead.

If you are trying to extend an interface though it generally is better to make an auxiliary interface specifically for new functionality, though it doesn’t hurt to extend it, the more bloat the harder it would be for you to maintain it and you can keep things more contained by splitting up functionality a bit.

Curious what you mean by attachments generic? As in like a gun attachments kind of setup or buildings blocks? If its a good idea / concept I wouldn’t mind hearing about it and helping you conceptualize.
