No value will be returned by reference?

anonymous_user_d2724555 · August 6, 2015, 2:46pm

I have an event node in my player class that executes on server and it takes an array parameter of a custom actor component class I created.

When using the event node, there is a note on the bottom of it that states: No Value will be returned by reference.
Does anyone know what would cause such a thing as well as a potential fix? The value itself sends nothing, I’ve checked with print strings and all.

Thanks!

It doesn’t have that strange note at the bottom of the node when it isn’t an array but if it is an array I get that warning. Any ideas?

Hello I am facing similar issue. . I realized adding custom event with an input of integer array will cause this. It will also create spam log everytime it is run

LogScript:Warning: Attempted to get an item from array K2Node_CustomEvent_ButtonArray out of bounds [8/1]!

lots of this

Let me try to reproduce it. Apparently I’m also getting it on non-array and non-integer.

CriErr · September 16, 2015, 7:58pm

Im getting this issue as well. Repro:

Create custom event, add actor variable blue type(reference), make it array, compile.

I dont understand why is that warning happens, custom event know as “no value return”. Unless i don’t understand something or Someone screw up with implementation and QA team with testing.

Hi Rudy, any update on this? Do you have an idea how to workaround it if I can’t circumvent to send arrays to a server RPC?

Hi Rudy, thanks. I have found using a struct with the arrays inside to be the easiest workaround, that works fine.

you for the suggested workaround. I am happy to hear that you that you can continue working.

So I’ve run into this issue when following the Setting Up Advanced AI stream with Ian Shadden and Meiszko Zielinski. In the tutorial they use the “On Perception Updated (AI Perception)” node and then drag out the Updated Actors array and run a For Each Loop from the array. Not sure how I could turn the On Perception Updated node into a custom structure.
Any chance this is going to be fixed soon?
