Great to hear from you Frederic and HammelGammel!

String Conversion Tutorial
I’ve updated my String Conversion wiki to include converting to and from std::string!
Also includes converting to and from float and integer!

Rama,
could you please do a video on creating a dedicated server?
This wiki tutorial by Community Member Piinecone is so extensive that I am not sure what a video would add to it other than watching me compile for a long time
Let me know if this wiki helps you!

You can use this wiki to load objects from an asset path during runtime!
**This is how I save asset references to hard disk as part of a save system, having to save only a 8byte FName rather than serializing an entire material or mesh **
Then from this ultra-tiny amount of saved data I can reload the entire game state, using the code I show you in wiki below!

Hello mates.
Sorry for bugging but can you confirm these tuts are still relevant ( working) . Especially after 4.6 ? Like this one:
These really look tasty, even more than official ones so I wanna try if I have the time.
Thanks mates.
Yes they are up to date with 4.6!
The wiki you linked is actually mostly C++ basics so I dont think it will go out of date any time soon
If anyone finds a wiki that is out of date feel free to pm me about it.

Oh thank a lot for clearing this 
If I ever find one outdated I’ll post here. Thanks again

Hey guys, I also posted a quick tutorial (using Rama’s examples as a template, hope that’s okay!)
How to access the functions and variables of an object specified in a <TSubclassOf> container.
Thanks!
Hey, I have a comment on this page: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements and Releases - Unreal Engine Forums
You mention that, because templates require definitions of the methods in the .h files anyway, the FORCEINLINE keyword should be used. I don’t really agree with that as a rule of thumb. Inlining functions increases the size of the code. Sometimes, people may not care about the size of the code and only the number of CPU cycles it takes to run, and then I agree that FORCEINLINE would often result in a performance increase… but even that is not always true. The increased code size can have a negative impact on your performance, even taking into account that the function call overhead is avoided (see Sections 3.4 and 6.2.2 of http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/cpumemory.pdf).
I would strongly recommend not to use FORCEINLINE at all, unless extensive profiling indicates that it does result in better performance in a highly performance-critical area of the game’s code. In general, it is fairly safe to rely on the compiler to make the right decisions with respect to whether or not code should be inlined (it can still do so even if you don’t use the FORCEINLINE or inline keywords).
Hi there Dennis! Great to hear from you!
I’ve modified the wiki to mention that you should probably just let the compiler figure it out if your function body is large!
I am presuming that readers of my wiki will actually look up “C++ inline function” and read about all these details, including your concerns about code bloat.
I can’t explain everything in my wiki pages
In case you’re wondering, I am assuming that readers of my wiki understand that C++ is one of the most well-documented languages on the planet, and they can find out more information about any topic by searching for themselves
But thanks again for your input, I’ve modified my phrasing on the wiki to make it more clear that user discretion is required when using FORCEINLINE!
Have fun today!

Dear Community,
I’ve just posted a new wiki!
I am giving you easy-to-use pre-processor commands to get a UE4 String that tells you the Class Name, Function Name, and Line Number of the calling code!
Logs, Printing the Class Name, Function Name, and Line Number of your Calling Code!
**Pics**
After you get my .h file below, the code for the above picture is this!
```
//~~~ Tick ~~~
void AEVCoreDefense::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VSCREENMSG("Got Here!"); //Class and line number get printed for you! ♥ Rama
}
```
Code
Here is the entire file you can #include in your code base!
I made this a file called JoyCurrentClassFuncLine.h
So you would then do this somewhere at the top of one of your core classes:
// Joy Class Func Line
**#include "JoyCurrentClassFuncLine.h"**
**/*
Joy String
Current Class, File, and Line Number!
by Rama
PreProcessor commands to get
a. Class name
b. Function Name
c. Line number
d. Function Signature (including parameters)
Gives you a UE4 FString anywhere in your code that these macros are used!
Ex:
You can use JOYSTR_CUR_CLASS anywhere to get a UE4 FString back telling you
what the current class is where you called this macro!
Ex:
This macro prints the class and line along with the message of your choosing!
VSCREENMSG("Have fun today!");

New Debugging PreProcessor Commands
I added some additional pre-processor commands to my wiki above!
UE_LOG and additional Screen Msg commands, that all tell you where you are in your code base automatically, including the line number!

**Featured Wiki
Read and Write to Config Files in UE4 C++!**
In this wiki I give you code that lets you read and write to config files any time you want, more so than just using UPROPERTY(config)
You can read and write any value you want, any time, directly in UE4 C++!
End result: a Human-readible, Human-editable file that your players can tweak to adjust your game’s settings after release!

**New Wiki!
AI Navigation in C++, Customize Path Follwing Every Tick!**
Shows you how to extend UE4’s wonderful AI Path Folllowing foundation by adding your own C++ that will run every tick that the path following is occurring!
This lets you add to UE4 Path Following without having to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, you can inject your own code per-tick into the standard UE4 path following code!
I used what I share in the wiki below to make c++ dynamic jump pathing, as shown in the AI videos in my signature.
