What is a GEN VARIABLE and why did it fail to import?

anonymous_user_b05c89cd · December 9, 2015, 2:30pm

I keep receiving this message log when game loads up,

- Error /Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/FirstPersonExampleMap : Failed import for SkeletalMeshComponent /Game/FirstPersonBP/Blueprints/FirstPersonCharacter.FirstPersonCharacter_C:SkeletalMesh_GEN_VARIABLE

I am unsure what a GEN VARIABLE is because i have never encountered one before. Does anybody know how i would come around solving this problem?

Thank you very much in advance for any answers.

Hi Lupus,

This is a known issue with First Person template that’s been fixed for 4.10 (UE-20152). If you’d like to continue working in 4.9, this shouldn’t cause any additional problems that we’re aware of.

This happened today with 4.10.2

Hi JonHanna,

reported bug was only for First Person template. It looks like you’re seeing a different error, so I’d like you to create a new post in Bug Reports section with as many details as you can provide, including which template you’re using. I’ll make sure someone on support staff gets assigned to look into it. Thanks!
