Editor crash deleting Blueprint inputs

Unreal 4.6.0

I can easily reproduce this crash… edit an Animation Blueprint with a Custom Event node that is defined with a MyCharacter input parameter… place an instance of the event in the graph and link the input to something… select the Custom Event node and press the (X) button to delete the input… the editor immediately crashes.

The work-around is to delete the calling node(s) before attempting to remove the input, then recreate the call node. I think the issue only occurs if the input type is a reference and not a simple “bool” etc.

Looks like this is happening because removing the pin marks it as RF_PendingKill (mark this object for GC), and the function setting that flag expects the pin object to not be marked with RF_RootSet (don’t GC this object).

I’m guessing that pin objects are marked RF_RootSet so that they won’t be GC-ed before they can be referenced in a graph, perhaps?

Hi ,

You mention you experience this in 4.6.0. I’ve been unable to reproduce this issue in UE 4.6.1. Try updating and let me know if you still experience this issue in 4.6.1.

Thanks
