The more complete and less dangerous solution is to create another workspace pointing to a different physical location on your machine but the same depot location. Once you have created the new workspace create a new connection and select it then sync the file s you need. Consider the situation where someone else has made changes to file If you take their changelist but overwrite or do not take their file1.
Now you can do your build with whatever version of file1. I found the workaround but not the solution. I get another local copy of project then build the project and submit the change.

Active 2 years, 2 months ago. Viewed 14k times. I want to get files from Perforce without putting them into a workspace. In general and mostly for historical reasons, working with assets in the Unreal Editor follows the workflow of Perforce.
Files known as Assets extension. These files are binary, so cannot be opened as text or merged in a text-based merge tool. For this reason, when working on a file the Editor will lock that file this is known as Checking Out in Perforce nomenclature so that other users cannot concurrently edit it.
When the user is done with editing the file s they have locked, they check in, or commit those files, uploading the changes to the server and releasing the lock on the file. To avoid potential integration issues with our tools, such as UnrealGameSync , we recommend running a case-insensitive Perforce server. P4D runs while an instance of the command line is running, so it is usually only used for spot-maintenance tasks. P4S is the service-based equivalent of P4D as it allows you to run the server in the background.
The service is usually installed and started when you install the Perforce server tools. Sometimes the service does not get run automatically. Then find the Perforce service in the list and start it:.
Once the service is running, you can connect to your server using P4Admin. If this is the first connection to your server, then you can make a new user in the initial connection dialog:. Fill in the connection information for your Perforce server and press okay. Once you have connected to the server in P4Admin, you can make new depots, users, and groups pretty easily. Use P4V and the Unreal Editor to connect to the server with the credentials you supplied in the initial connection dialog.
Check out the P4Admin Documentation for more in-depth information on the ins and outs of Perforce. Before you start adding files to your depot, you should set up your P4 Typemap so Perforce knows how to treat Unreal file types.
Setting the typemap will affect how files get set to read only or writable inside of Perforce. However to do this, you will need to open a new command prompt and set up some p4 environment variables. Replace the values above with your respective username and connection address. Open the typemap by entering the following in the command prompt.
You will then see a text window open; this is your server's typemap. Find centralized, trusted content and collaborate around the technologies you use most. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
I want to write a script which I will schedule in my windows task schedular to get the file daily. Using P4V will make it hard to automate.
I suggest you use the command-line client, p4. If there's only one file that you need the contents of you could simply use "p4 print" and avoid the need for creating a workspace client spec, e.
Note that the above command requires you to be already logged on to the Perforce server. There's at least two ways around this:.
A licensed "background user" designated for only performing automated tasks can be obtained at no further cost from Perforce Software. Try contacting Perforce support and ask them about this. In a bat you can use the p4. Before Issuing Sync, make sure you have logged in and set the port and client view p4 -u myuser -P mypasswd.
The command you need is p4 sync. How are we doing? Please help us improve Stack Overflow. Take our short survey. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams?
