BullCowGame could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually

Unreal Courses Ask
#1

I couldn’t compile the Bull Cow Game, so I tried closing the window and opening it again. When I did, the engine would not let me open the project. I have tried the following :

  1. Deleting the Saved, Intermediate and Binaries
  2. Opening the project from unreal ( opening unreal first, then loading the project)
    It keeps giving the following error.

As you can see, I have tried many times. What is wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Your fellow student

BullCowGame could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually (Mac)
#2

You’re probably missing the TEXT macro on line 30 of BullCowCartridge.cpp. If it’s not that could you post lines 29-31?

#3

Here are the lines:

PrintLine(TEXT(“You have run out of lives!”)); // Dictating user has lost
PrintLine(TEXT(“The word was”), HiddenWord); // Telling user the word
PrintLine(TEXT(“Press enter to play again?”)); // Asking user to play again

#4

Im in the middle of the course, I know that the play again should probably go somewhere else, but Im leaving it here for now.

#5

Ah in that case you’re missing * for HiddenWord

#6

what do you mean?

#7 
PrintLine(TEXT(“The word was”), *HiddenWord); // Telling user the word
#8

Ok, ill try that.

#9

Thank you so much, it was very kind to help!

@DanM, does the * need to be done everytime for every var? Im not sure if I should do the same thing for the lives. ( It’s not giving me an error, but the lives are not printing)
