PrintLine does not appear

Unreal Courses Ask
1

Hi there,

I am following along and currently in the bullcowgame lecture 45. Using the in-game terminal.

Now when I start to type PrintLine, it does not appear in the box;

When I go into UE4, compile then play the hi there shows up in the terminal. I was just wondering with PrintLine not showing up will it cause an issue later on in the course or am I over thinking it?

This is an issue with 4.25 and VS Code projects

https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-87619

It’s been fixed for 4.26

It wasn’t suppose to provide a solution. It was linked to show that it is a bug with Unreal and that it’s tracked and marked as fixed for 4.26 which isn’t even in preview release yet.

There’s supposed to be a lecture on this but the wrong video got uploaded.

  1. If you’re on Windows go to the lecture “Unreal 4.25 VS Code bug” and download the defines.txt.
  2. Then follow the instructions provided here
    File "BullCowCartridge.h" #include has ERROR - #17 by Sky_L
    If you’re on Windows use the defines from 1. if you’re on macOS use the defines in that post.
