Why Actor->GetName() ... 'FString::FString' is non-trivial?

[espr3ss0]

Trying to find out why this doesn’t work? …

void USelectionSubsystem::PrintCurrentStart()
{
FString startactorname = StartActor->GetName();
GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 10.0f, FColor::Red, FString::Printf(TEXT(“%s”), startactorname));
}

GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 10.0f, FColor::Red, FString::Printf(TEXT(“%s”), startactorname));

Replace

 GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 10.0f, FColor::Red, FString::Printf(TEXT("%s"), startactorname));

with

 GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 10.0f, FColor::Red, FString::Printf(TEXT("%s"), *startactorname));

FString::Printf doesn’t take fstring as a parameter directly. You need to dereference it.
