Hi,
As the title suggests, when trying to define the FPointDamageEvent, I get an error directly pointed at the name of the FPointDamageEvent -in this case: DamageEvent- telling me that “incomplete type is not allowed”.
I get this error even if I copy the code made by the instructor (from Github) and paste it into my code.
I tried defining the FPoint…Event in the header file, but still “computer says no”.
Any idea what is missing? Thanks in advance!
Here is my code:

#include "Gun.h"
#include "Components/SkeletalMeshComponent.h"
#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
#include "DrawDebugHelpers.h"

AGun::AGun()
{
// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
Root = CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(TEXT("Root"));
SetRootComponent(Root);
Mesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<USkeletalMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
Mesh->SetupAttachment(Root);
}
void AGun::PullTrigger()
{
UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAttached(MuzzleFlash, Mesh, TEXT("MuzzleFlashSocket"));
APawn* OwnerPawn = Cast<APawn>(GetOwner());
if (OwnerPawn == nullptr) return;
AController* OwnerController = OwnerPawn->GetController();
if (OwnerController == nullptr) return;
FVector Location;
FRotator Rotation;
OwnerController->GetPlayerViewPoint(Location, Rotation);
FVector End = Location + Rotation.Vector() * MaxRange;
FHitResult Hit;
bool bSuccess = GetWorld()->LineTraceSingleByChannel(Hit, Location, End, ECollisionChannel::ECC_GameTraceChannel1);
if (bSuccess)
{
FVector ShotDirection = -Rotation.Vector();
UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAtLocation(GetWorld(), ImpactEffect, Hit.Location, ShotDirection.Rotation());
AActor* HitActor = Hit.GetActor();
if (HitActor != nullptr)
{
FPointDamageEvent DamageEvent(Damage, Hit, ShotDirection, nullptr);
HitActor->TakeDamage(Damage, DamageEvent, OwnerController, this);
}
}
}
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AGun::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
}
// Called every frame
void AGun::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
