Hello Everyone,
I have recently started using UE4 and I have an issue. I am attempting to get an object name from an object in my level. I have created a class that reports the name of the object in the LOG. I then add the class as a component of one of the chairs in the basic project template. The code is as follows
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#include “PositionReporter.h”
#include “GameFramework/Actor.h”
// Sets default values for this component’s properties
UPositionReporter::UPositionReporter()
{
// Set this component to be initialized when the game starts, and to be ticked every frame. You can turn these features
// off to improve performance if you don’t need them.
}
// Called when the game starts
void UPositionReporter::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
// If I comment out the line below my code runs fine
FString ObjectName = GetOwner()->GetName();
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Position Reporter Active"));
}
// Called every frame
void UPositionReporter::TickComponent(float DeltaTime, ELevelTick TickType, FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction)
{
Super::TickComponent(DeltaTime, TickType, ThisTickFunction);
// ...
}
This is the information from the Crash Reporter
