Can't Save Blueprint (Referenced in /Engine/transient) Now crashes on startup!

Zumf · March 15, 2015, 10:48pm

Hi Epic.

I’m having a variation of This problem, I was getting same message ( one mentioned in original post), and not being able to save blueprint, consistently. problem started after I moved a blueprint (BP_Extractor02) into a subfolder. I’ve done this before and references remain intact thanks to redirectors, but after moving this blueprint, my main player blueprint, which was referencing it, started giving me that error when attempting to save.

I opened reference viewer and saw that it was still trying to reference BP_Extractor02 in its original location, but only place it was referenced in player blueprint was a struct in construction script.

Unfortunately, a make-struct doesn’t seem to have ability to choose directory path, and just shows class (BP_Extractor02 with no indication of where that class is stored), so I had to trust that it was pointing in right direction. All blueprints compiled correctly, but player blueprint still wouldn’t save.

Now editor crashes on startup. Crash report:

If I can get editor opening again, I may be able to fix “transient” problem, as other post referenced.

Please help!

Can you post your crash logs here so I can take a look? Additionally, go into your windows filepath and manually move file back to its original position. See if this will allow you to open project so you can manually alter struct.

Zumf · March 16, 2015, 9:39pm

Here you go

And I got asset wrong. it was BP_CapacitorBank02. Moving it back to original location still results in a crash. log says “invalid generated class for ScructureFunctionLib”. I remember I did do something to a funcion in that library - I made it a pure function, as I thought that was what was messing it up before.

I think root cause of problem was that I copy-pasted some nodes from one blueprint to another, and everything after that was in effort to fix it.

Sorry for confusion

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 16, 2015, 10:28pm

If you are comfortable with it, would you mind sharing your project with me? I have an idea of what may be going on and would like to confirm it. Thank you!

Zumf · March 17, 2015, 11:51am

I’ll get a copy of it zipped up soon. Is Dropbox OK?

anonymous_user_33800a51 · March 17, 2015, 12:43pm

Hi ,

Dropbox would be fine. You can send a link via PM on forums, or you can post link here. Thanks!

Zumf · March 17, 2015, 7:06pm

I’ve sent you a PM with link, . Thanks so much for looking into this!

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 17, 2015, 7:39pm

Hi ,

I’ve responded to your PM and believe I found a solution to your specific error. I’m entering bug report for this crash now.

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 17, 2015, 8:28pm

Hi ,

I entered a bug report, UE-12028 to be assessed by development staff. It seems that what is occurring is when an object that is used as a class type within a struct is move, redirector is not being picked up by struct. struct then replaces data type that it cannot find with type “class”, which cannot be read, causing a crash. As a workaround for users experiencing this, please remove your maps folder so you can get into your project. From there, open your struct and manually reset class data type to your intended data type. This will halt crashes and you can re-add your maps to continue working normally.

Zumf · March 17, 2015, 9:17pm

Thanks ! Being able to open project again is a big relief, but unfortunately I’m stuck with original problem. Screenshots attached.

I’ve searched for mentions of “transient” but can’t find anything. It’s baffling!

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 17, 2015, 9:30pm

Try re-creating struct information in your ship blueprint, as this seems to be primary location that is seeing error. It may simply not be picking up redirect change, in which case re-referencing might be able to fix error.

Zumf · March 23, 2015, 9:27pm

Sorry it took a while to get back to you. I’m not a full-time game developer yet.

re-inputting classes into struct and re-creating struct information in construction script had no effect on problem. I even tried removing it from ship blueprint entirely and it still wouldn’t save.

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 24, 2015, 5:47pm

Can you send me an updated copy of project so I can do a few tests on my end?

anonymous_user_b9532c9a · March 25, 2015, 9:10pm

I was able to reproduce this and have entered a bug report, UE-12585 to be assessed by development staff. As a workaround, before trying to save your blueprint, go into your function library and disconnect then reconnect a variable from output node (I’ve been testing using your boolean value). You will have to do this each time you reload editor and attempt to save blueprint.

I am not certain what is causing error though I have narrowed it down to interaction between your ship blueprint and function library. If you do not need function library at present, deleting three functions from your function library you have near top of your event graph in ship blueprint should allow you to continue without these errors occurring at all.

Zumf · April 1, 2015, 9:37pm

Thanks again !

I just tried what you suggested, and (weirdly) it works! Now I can get back to business! Cheers!

Irakli · April 8, 2016, 5:14pm

For whatever its worth:

I’ve struggled with this bug and lost my work multiple times. My problem was manifesting randomly after moving some assets around. Even after fixing up redirectors and restarting editor it would randomly fail to save.

solution in my case was to:

open BP that was failing to save
From top menu do File->Refresh all nodes
Done

After losing my work N amount of times I am finally able to save it. I hope this helps someone.

alleysark · October 19, 2016, 2:14am

Awesome!! Your solution works for me!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

janimationd · February 8, 2017, 10:38pm

This same error (getting Engine/Transient messages) can occur if you duplicate an “Inherited” component in a blueprint class (which originated in C++ code) from blueprint editor.
