My interpretation of the end challenge was slightly different from what was then shown in the video, I was wondering would this be a valid way of achieving the same intended result or is it wrong/bad practise to do it my way?
Looks like you are printing out the owning actor’s name as a string instead of the address on the last line. I think you want %x and just the Owner pointer instead, i.e. :
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Display, TEXT("Mover address is %x"), Owner);
I know Sam uses %x but that’s technically incorrect and %p should be used for pointers. %x is for an Unsigned hexadecimal integer.
Ah, right, I forgot about %p. Indeed I think I was going off of memory of what I had seen in a lecture.
It’s also worth mentioning that %p will print out the correct 64-bit address whereas %x will not.
Ah yes, seems I forgot to change the message before the name, whoops! should read “Mover name is…” my apologies!
