When creating a blueprint structure with a bool in it, you may set a free text default value, which crashes the whole editor and makes your project corrupted. Or maybe the crash occurred when pressing the checkbox in an instance of the same struct later on.
Default types are wrong, anyway.
I know it’s not an answer, but I don’t get that behaviour.
I set the default value of a bool ‘TheBadBool’ in a test Struct as EnEMeNeMineNeMo (not 0 or 1).
I compare it in the level blueprint to see if it compares equal with a bool variable that is defaulting to 0.
It compares true (which is odd). But there’s no crashing. I save, reload UE4, still no crashing.
Likewise, if I set the bool using MakeStruct and click the tickbox for ‘TheBadBool’ it also doesn’t crash or error.
Hi!
Okey, let me specify how I made it crash:
1 Create a BP structure with a bool field
2 Create an actor, that has a list of said structs. Populate the list with a struct
3 Set default value for the boolean to 1
4 Go to the details of your actor instance, and see that the checkbox for the bool has changed to some half transparent filling
5 Try to check the checkbox, editor crashed and my project got corrupted
Anyway, I suppose the main problem is that the default value panel is a text field, not a checkbox.
