Description

We don't clearly define the behavior for a Blueprint function when an execution path without a return node is taken. We should either report an error, or have the function return the default initialization of the type (eg: false for bool, 0 for int, etc).

Steps to Reproduce
  • Download WDT_Test.uasset attachment.
  • Create an empty map.
  • Open the level Blueprint.
  • Add a "Create Widget" node to the BeginPlay event.
  • Set WDT_Test as the widget class for the node.
  • Connect a GetPlayerController node to the Owning Player pin of the widget node.
  • Connect a Add to Viewport node to the widget node's output.
  • In WDT_Test's TestFunc, set a breakpoint on the print node that displays "Func: False".
  • Play in viewport.
  • After breakpoint hits, step out of function.
  • Observe that the branch in the even graph takes the true path and not that false one.
