UnrealObjectPtrTool

Alternative to UnrealObjectPtrTool using C#.

To use

  1. Navigate to your DefaultEngine.ini UHT config file located in your Engine\Programs\UnrealHeaderTool\Config directory.

  2. Inside of your DefaultEngine.ini file, modify the following script:

NonEngineNativePointerMemberBehavior=AllowAndLog

  1. Rebuild your project to ensure all the code is parsed by UHT. You may need to delete Binaries and Intermediate folders.

  2. Run UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe and follow the instructions.

Examples

You can also provide direct path of log to the exe file.

UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe "d:\Repos\UnrealEngine\Engine\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Log-backup-2023.09.21-11.38.14.txt"

Additional Notes

Your UHT log may be named Log_UHT.txt or UnrealHeaderTool.log or any other file under that folder depending on how your project is compiled. You can navigate to either of the following folder directories:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealBuildTool\Log_UHT.txt
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealHeaderTool\Saved\Logs\UnrealHeaderTool.log
Engine\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Log_UHT.txt
Engine\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Log.txt

This project reads only if no console parameters defined C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealBuildTool\Log_UHT.txt
