Intended behavior is to check for Null reference before use
Making a call to GetPawn in an AIController class will return NULL which will crash when that return value is used.
This is a regression as the call is made successfully in 4.8.3.
Working CL:
Worked in 4.8.3 (4.8.0 branched in CL 2577408)
Broken CL:
Broken in 4.9 (Branched in CL 2624401)
1. Open UE4 Editor (third person code template)
2. Create class based on AIController (MyAIController)
3. Add the following to MyAIController.h
FRotator GetControlRotation() const override;
4. Add the following to MyAIController.cpp
FRotator AMyAIController::GetControlRotation() const { GetPawn()->GetActorClass(); // call some function from // GetPawn to throw a nullexecption return ControlRotation; }
5. Put a breakpoint on the GetPawn() line and press F5 to compile
6. In the editor create a blueprint based on character (NewCharBP)
7. In the details panel set AI Controller class to MyAIController
8. Place instance of NewCharBP into the level
9. PIE
Result:
Breakpoint will trigger on PIE. Stepping into the function will show that the character is Null when the call to GetClass() is made.
Expected:
In 4.8 the correct blueprint was set when GetPawn() was called.
