About Forcing Character Collisions, I have found that setting an X and Y delta makes the character move a little when colliding with the pushing squares. However, setting the Z, to for instance 0.1 and -0.1, will not produce this little quirk. 
Iām having a similar issue to FrenzyBrz but potentially worse.
For some reason, Iām not getting intellisense/auto-complete. My code runs fine and all, Iām half way through the section, but I donāt see things properly colorized, hovering over items doesnāt give me more info, no tab completion for anything MS C++ nor Unreal.
Hereās a screenshot.

I donāt know if having VS 2019 and 2017 already prior to this messed something up, I uninstalled them and now only have 2022, but still no difference.
I have the two extensions suggested, C/C++ by Microsoft and the Unreal Engine 4 Snippets by CaptnCaps.
Here is my .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json file.
Not sure if itās important but I see people mentioning it in similar situations.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions people may have!
Edit: It seems I can no longer use the live code compile now that I have removed the old versions of Visual Studio.
Error message:
Manual recompile triggered

A fatal error occurred. The required library hostfxr.dll could not be found.
If this is a self-contained application, that library should exist in [E:\UE_5.0\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool\].
If this is a framework-dependent application, install the runtime in the global location [C:\Program Files\dotnet] or use the DOTNET_ROOT environment variable to specify the runtime location or register the runtime location in [HKLM\SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\InstallLocation].
The .NET Core runtime can be found at:
- https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=win10-x64
Build failed.
Going to try to fix this, but any suggestions for this too would be appreciated.
Edit 2: Tried installing .net SDK 6.0 but it didnāt like that, it specifically wanted 3.1. Why would it be using something so outdated? Itās nearly end of life. Is this also because I had old VS versions installed? Do I need to rebuild or tell it to switch to 6.0 somewhere? It seems to be running fine now either way.
Last edit: Iāve just switched to Visual Studio 2022 instead. Everything is fine here.
How are we supposed to recompile in VSCode? Are you talking about the command in drop down menu from the Terminal ā Run Build Task?
I have the same issue and also canāt find the solution. Canāt find an option to recompile in VSCode.
For some reason, my live coding no longer works, after the first time I used it last night. If I try, then it goes through the compiling process like normal, however no changes end up being made.
Since then Iāve had to compile my code in VSCode itself, get the message saying it canāt compile because the editor is currently open and running, and then I can use the live code compiler and it works properly. Obviously, though, thatās a process twice as long as what I want.
Is it possible some keys were pressed overnight, or I did something that made it like this? Or, how could I go about fixing it so that live code compiler makes the correct changes again? Thanks for reading.
I ran into something similar earlier, I would suggest closing everything and just to be sure, restart your computer, that fixed things up for me.
In the example he did switch the starting pointā¦
i donāt like it very much, is my solution worst in term of computation?
FVector currentLocation = GetActorLocation();
currentLocation = currentLocation + (MoveForeward ? 1 : -1)*(PlatformVelocity * DeltaTime);
SetActorLocation(currentLocation);
Distance = FVector::Dist(StartLocation, currentLocation);
if(Distance > DistanceToMove){
MoveForeward = false;
}else if(Distance<0){
MoveForeward = true;
}
Section 8 - Compiling a C++ Project - We add a C++ file to our project and learn to compile the editor.
Iāve gotten stuck try to compile the C++ code. I do the Run Build Task under Terminal, but I do not see any build tasks (see below).
How can I fix this issue? Iāve been looking throughout all of the lessons for installing (section 5 -8) and I cannot find anything. Any ideas?
It looks like youāve closed the terminal box. Not to worry itās easy to get back. Go to āViewā at the top-most toolbar, and select āTerminalā from the drop down.
Alternatively, you can just press Ctrl + Tilda Key to bring it up again.
Hope this helps.
I am having this same problem. Have you figured it out yet?
Nice to know, but that does not solve my issue. I still get no run build task.
Though I guess I notice some errors?
Did you change the project file path to somewhere else?
Not that Iām aware of. I just followed the tutorial and saved it and then tried to open VS and I got these errors trying to run build tasks.

Open your project in unreal engine, click on tools and then refresh the visual studio code project. After doing these steps again try to run the build task. Maybe this will solve your issue, I am not quite sure though.

Awesome! That did the trick. Thank you so much! I was able to find and run the build task in the tutorial. No problems detected so far.

Iālll admit Iām going a bit nuts over
CurrentLocation = CurrentLocation + MovementVector * Deltatime (or whatever it was again)
Folks, Ima bake your noodle;-
CurrentLocation += MovementVector * Deltatime;
Means the exact thing. The += operator just expands out to val = val +
Hopefully thatāll come up later.
