UE4 crash on creating "Creature Animation Asset"

Post by skooma » Thu Sep 26, 2019 1:12 pm

Hello, I've been watching "Getting Started with the Creature UE4 Plugin" tutorial and my UE 4.23 crashes when i'm trying to upload JSON file in my Creature Animation Asset. I made that JSON using another tutorial on your youtube channel.

Report:
Unhandled exception

Hello,

That is strange, I will do more testing on my side but so far it loads the jsons just fine. You could try other sample jsons from the plugin github as well.

Thanks

I used a sample JSON from github and it worked. But then I tried to do the same thing with "Creature Actor" instead of UE default "Empty Actor"(because in the Creature Dragon UE4 Tutorial you use creature actor) and now it crashes when I click "play"
Maybe i need to prepare my character differently? In dragon tutorial you don't go deep about that so i did it the way you show in "getting started" video.

Oh so I need to make a note for this, CreatureActor is deprecated. You should use a regular actor and add a CreatureMeshComponent to as a BP. That is the correct way to create and use Creature character in UE4.

Thanks

Thanks a lot!
Btw I tried to make my JSON again the same way i did before and it still crashes UE4. I made another one without using your procedural animation options and i didn't click "create animation loop for game engines" and now this JSON works well. I guess it's something wrong with some of this features, but i have no time to test it right now so i just wanted to let you know about that.
