I posted about a previous occurrence of this error (last year in an entirely different project) but no fix was presented then and I abandoned that thread thinking that there was simply some glitch in my system.
However, it has re-occurred in a quite nearly identical circumstance – with a drag and drop hotbar. This is an entirely new project with no common blueprints or code with the first.
A hot bar widget has become corrupted and I am unable to repair the error. Each time I close the editor, changes to the widget fail to save or become corrupted in the exact same fashion.
While the video helps in some regards there was not enough information to reproduce this issue on our end. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.
Quick questions:
Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
If so, could you provide a detailed set of steps to help reproduce this issue on our end?
Could you provide a screen shot of all blueprints that may be involved in this issue?
The project is as clean as it can be. It only has the ARPGIS (which I have not modified) from the Marketplace and free Market content. My own code/blueprints are minor and do not interact with the HUD or the individual widgets. And, of course, the error would not occur in a project without complex nested widgets.
As on the previous occasion, this corruption simply occurred unnoticed at some point and was only detected when I realized that the hotbar was not present…
I do not believe it to be a blueprint issue. All of the blueprints involved are in the ARPGInventorySystem, which is available from the Marketplace. A fresh migration of the ARPGIS content does not contain this issue.
The individual widgets involved all appear to be in proper shape. It is possible to add a new hotbar to the layout and when this is done, it appears to be correct. The layout compiles and saves without error or at least appears to do so. However, the changes do not take or save to disk and there is no indication from the editor that an error occurred… The hotbar is actually still present but apparently empty and thus not visible when playing the game.
I have manually overwritten the offending assets from a fresh project, but the error is still present.
After digging in more, I was able to recreate the problem in a new project simply by playing as a standalone game. The hotbar is present when playing in the editor.
However, the widget layout does not appear corrupted.
When you say that you were able to reproduce this issue in a clean project, does this mean you were able to do so with no additional content(nothing outside of starter content)? If so, could you provide the steps (in detail) that you used to recreate the issue in a clean project?
I may not have been clear before and I can see how that may have caused some confusion, what I meant by “Reproducing this in a clean project” was that I would like for you to start with a new project and recreate the asset that you are having issues with. This would mean recreating the widget that has the nested widgets. This process helps eliminate any extraneous variables.
