%f not working

[FireFistYK]

Hi

I use Visual Studios 2022 and the UE Snippets extension doesn’t support 2022 yet, so I had manually write down the whole UE_LOG thing, but %f doesn’t seem to be working for some reason. It’s not highlighted in blue and it’s also not showing anything in the log

I’ve used the following code in my game and it worked as expected.

		float testfloat = 3.2f;
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("TESTING FLOATS : %f"), testfloat);

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘its not hightlighted in blue’ the variable Overshoot looks liek its blue to me in visual studio.

I feel the most likley reason its not working is either:
Unreal Engine being a jerk and not recognising your changed code. I test this sometimes by making a really basic UE_LOG with just text somehwere i’m confident should work. I just close and reopen urneal to fix that mostly.

or maybe in unreal you’ve accidentally enabled a filter on the log? There’s a lot of options in there - lateley i’ve been disabling it all except for ‘LogTemp’.

@FireFistYK

t’s not highlighted in blue

What’s not highlighted in blue?

@FireFistYK

it’s also not showing anything in the log

Are you sure it past the desired distance yet? Do you get any logs at all (have one outside the if)
