I had an error in the #include “CoreMinimal.h” that is in the HiddenWordList.h and I saw someone say in the discussions that I should go into unreal and refresh visual studio code project, so I did and it fixed that error but now in BullCowCartridge.h there is a new error with GENERATED_BODY() and I don’t know how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Whilst annoying you should be able to just ignore that. It usually resolves itself eventually.

The error with GeneratedBody() has actually gone away but now when I compile in unreal I get "error c2143 syntax error: missing ‘;’ before “template<” "
Could you post the full compilation output as well as any line numbers it talks about?
Could you post the full contents of that file and Cartridge.h?
I took screenshots of them both I don’t know any other way to share them. Sorry if that is inconvenient.
BullCowCartridge.h:
BullCowCartdridge.generated.h:
While I was taking the screenshots an error on line 89 appeared in StaticClass<class and then it disappeared, and then on line 12 the line that says #error “BullCowCartridge.generated.h already included, missing ‘#pragma once’ in BullCowCartridge.h” blurred out. I don’t know what any of that means and if there is a better way to send you these files please let me know thanks for your patience.
Doesn’t seem like anything wrong. Could you try doing a rebuild? In VS Code with Unreal closed.
Ctrl + Shift + B > ProjectNameEditor Platform Development Rebuild
Where ProjectName is the name of your project and Platform is the platform you’re targeting e.g. Win64
I did what you said and clicked BullCowGameEditor Win64 Development Rebuild and it got to the point where it said press any key to close the terminal so I did and now when I open unreal it says:
and the I click yes and it says:
Could you provide the log that’s in your projects Saved > Logs folder?
There are a lot of files in my logs folder, I am not sure which one to share and I’m also not sure how to share it so I picked the one with the most recent date and copy and pasted it. if there is a better way to do this please let me know. Thanks

[Upgrade]
[Upgrade] Using backward-compatible build settings. The latest version of UE4 sets the following values by default, which may require code changes:
[Upgrade] bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false => Omits subfolders from public include paths to reduce compiler command line length. (Previously: true).
[Upgrade] ShadowVariableWarningLevel = WarningLevel.Error => Treats shadowed variable warnings as errors. (Previously: WarningLevel.Warning).
[Upgrade] PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs => Set in build.cs files to enables IWYU-style PCH model. See https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/BuildTools/UnrealBuildTool/IWYU/index.html. (Previously: PCHUsageMode.UseSharedPCHs).
[Upgrade] Suppress this message by setting ‘DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;’ in BullCowGameEditor.Target.cs, and explicitly overriding settings that differ from the new defaults.

Try removing the HiddenWordList.h from your header file add it to your cpp file.
Yea I thought that to and changed it early on but it still didn’t work.
Yeah I’m a bit lost.
Would you mind sending me your project using the following link?
Please use File > Package Project > Zip Up Project within Unreal as this will ensure only required files are zipped up and things like the Binaries are excluded.
Having that include there might have messed some stuff up still.
Close the UE4 editor and close VSCode.
Then go into your project’s Intermediate directory and delete the Build folder. Then go into VSCode and Rebuild.
Make sure you Rebuild/Build with the Editor version:
BuildingEscapeEditor Win64 Development Rebuild
You can see the BuildingEscape has Editor on the end. If I’m not debugging I use the Development option. If this fixes it you can go back to using Build instead of Rebuild so it builds faster by only building what you’ve changed.
I’m an idiot🤦♂️.
Use something like 7Zip to zip it up. Select only the following file and folders when doing so
Config
Content
Source
ProjectName.uproject
Your replies went to my spam folder so didn’t notice them.
Go to the Terminal menu and choose Run Task or Run Build Task:
- Choose the “Editor” version of the task.
You can see in the pic that Editor is pended on the end of the project name. - Win64 maybe different depending on what you’re type your building.
- Choose Development for the Build as you can see in the pic.
- Choose Rebuild like the pic. Normally you would use Build though.
