Class 'UWorld' has not member 'GetFirstPlayerController'

[RogueMage3D]

UE4.22 / Visual Studio 2019 / Lecture 89 / OpenDoor-Script

ActorThatOpens = GetWorld()->GetFirtstPlayerController()->GetPawn(); // This seems to cause the error

I always get class ‘UWorld’ has not member ‘GetFirstPlayerController’ error in Visual Studio 2019. When I hover above GetFirtstPlayerController() the tooltip displays the same. So I checked for the class UWorld and cannot find the method there. Does this mean that it does not exist in Unreal 4.22 anymore or am I doing something wrong? How do I do this in UE 4.22 correctly to proceed with the lectures?

Did you include the header for UWorld?

Thanks for the quick answer. Actually I am not sure, if I have done the headers right. I tried to look up the API and think that it is “Engine/World.h” for UWorld. My headers in the OpenDoor.h are:

#include “CoreMinimal.h”
#include “Components/ActorComponent.h”
#include “Engine/TriggerVolume.h”
#include “Engine/World.h”
#include “GameFramework/Actor.h”
#include “GameFramework/Controller.h”
#include “OpenDoor.generated.h”

VS and UE4 are compiling successfully and the script works as intended. It seems that this is a problem with Visual Studio 2019. It is very irretating though. Every ‘GetWorld()’ has this wavy red line too.

Just noticed this

GetFirtstPlayerController

If that’s what you have in code then that’s a typo.
