HiddenWord after FString isn’t declared and “cake” doesn’t reprint in the game terminal.
(*Edit: Moving forward with the other modules, Bull Cows works fine and recognizes “cake” as a win\lose variable. I’ll keep exploring.)
What is VS Code thinking is an error in BullCowCartridge.h?
Allright! Thanks for the help.
It fixed my HiddenWord issue and BullCowCartridge.h
Now I have many more squiggly lines but I guess those aren’t to be bothered with just yet?
Game works fine.
If it compiles fine then you can ignore that. You may just need to refresh the code project via File > Refresh Code Project in Unreal.
Copy the defines just in case doing that erases them.
Ok. This has create a new set of problems.
I pasted the defines found on the Udmy .9 discussion (Unreal 4.25VS Intellisense bug) . It temporarely resolved the HiddenWord issue, until I moved on to lecture .51 (Member variables). Then it all went wrong and doesn’t compile anymore.
And here is my message log. (lines are too long to screengrab properly).

When I copy paste FString HiddenWord into the header file, it loses any recognition and is not initialised in any way.
You’re missing a semicolon on line 10.
Hi Dan,
I’m back after a short hiatus.
I added the missing semi-colon.
I added the defines and updated the path.
Yet, I still can’t compile BullCowGame.
The compiler log says the following :
Creating makefile for BullCowGameEditor (no existing makefile)
Parsing headers for BullCowGameEditor

D:/Unreal projects/BullCowGame/Source/BullCowGame/BullCowCartridge.h(10) : Error: Missing ‘{’ in ‘Class’
And my .cpp terminal looks like this
I’m looking around the to find how to add the : missing ’ { ’ in ‘Class’ (as mentioned in the last line of my compiler log) but I see no cut and dry answer.
Here is my .h terminal:
Is this an Unreal 4.25 issue?
Thanks for your time.
If you have a semicolon on line 10 in your header which shouldn’t be there.
SUCCESS!
Ok. I’ll look over how and what all that entailed to get a better grasp of C++.
I’ll get better at this.
Thanks for your help @DanM
