Sorry to litter up the forums with a question like this but I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere online… So… I have made some shaders that use time to essentially animate themselves. Whenever I attach them to a material, and then a sprite in the engine, I can see them moving in the editor as expected.

So, out of curiosity… why is it that some people’s editor is running the shader and some aren’t? We are all working on the same project using the same editor version? Thank you for your response btw!

If you want to force the editor to run the shader, you can attach a component with executeInEditMode. The reason is that our editor doesn’t run scene if there is no modification or no executing components, for the sake of performance.

Being able to pinpoint bugs in the core Unreal Engine code, fix them, and submit patches to Epic is how modern software development works. Comparatively, Unity is closed source, and even if you go to the trouble of filing a bug report you'll still have to wait a year for an official bug fix if you're lucky.
