Unreal not using my GameEngine?,

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hi, I am working on a project that requires me to overwrite Unreal’s GameEngine.

I derived a class from UGameEngine

UCLASS()
class MYGAME_API UMyEngine : public UGameEngine
{
  GENERATED_BODY()
    	
   public:
   void Init(IEngineLoop * InEngineLoop)  override;
   void Tick(float DeltaSeconds, bool bIdleMode) override;
};

And I integrated it by editing DefaultEngine.ini

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
GameEngine=/Script/MyGame.MyEngine

However, when trying to use UE4_LOG on either of the functions in the engine nothing is printed on the console
I also tried to force a crash by throwing an exception and dereferencing a NULL pointer on those functions but it didn’t have any effect.

Is there any setup step I am missing? Or am I misanderstanding what overriding UGameEngine does?

Thank you

Your class name is UMyEngine but in your DefaultEngine.ini, you are calling MyGameEngine.

Try changing your ini to:

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
 GameEngine=/Script/MyGame.MyEngine

Sorry I made a mistake when copy pasting, it actually says MyGame.MyEngine
