Development Programming & Scripting UI

Creating a new variable in a UMG Widgets graph and making it a String or Text will crash the editor when I press the Compile button in the graph.

Engine version: 4.6

There must be something else that’s doing the crashing, without any details as to what else is inside the widget, there is very little to say about this problem.

Does it happen in any other UMG widget?

Does it happen in a completely blank project when you make a new UMG widget?

What else is inside the widget?

Hello,

I was using 4.6.1.

I don’t believe that the issue in present in clean projects. The issue has since fixed it self,
i dont exactly remember how now, i think recreating the widget from scratch and making it exactly the same gets rid of the issue, or maybe switching to a different project and back.

I don’t currently have a project that would suffer from the issue.
