SimpleShooterGameMode.cpp wasnt there before, was it?

[proc24]

Hello there,

in the video you created the KillEmAllGameMode.cpp derived from the SimpleShooterGameModeBase.cpp, but in my project there was no SimpleShooterGameModeBase.cpp. I always note down what we are doing and in my notes it says that we directly went ahead and created the BP_SimpleShooterGameMode directly derived from GameModeBase in the lecture Pawns vs Characters in C++ without creating our own CPP GameMode to derive from. So i went back and doublechecked and indeed we did skip creating SimpleShooterGameModeBase.cpp.

Now to my question: Did I skip a lecture by mistake or am I missing something here? Using Unreal 5.2 in case Unreal 4.x did create SimpleShooterGameModeBase automaticly on project setup.

Note: I went ahead and created the SimpleShooterGameModeBase.cpp myself derived from GameModeBase, so I dont need help with that one. In fact what i have learned so far in this course made me fix that myself, which is pretty cool even if its just a small thing thank you!

An AProjectNameGameModeBase should be created when you create a C++ project; though it’s just an default class derived from AGameModeBase.

You can see it’s been there since the project set up

Hmm, somehow it wasnt there for me. But thanks for replying Dan! Isnt a big problem anyways. In case anyone encounters the same problem as me i suggest just create it yourself aswell.

Same problem, wasn’t created for me and did build the C++ class based on GameModeBase myself. Maybe something with the unreal version? Using 5.3

Testing it on my end it does seem to be a change in 5.3 to not create that empty game mode class.
