VSCode include path issue

[Dilo]

My code compiles fine, the game runs and displays anything i’ve changed. The issue seems to be in visual code include pathing

I’ve looked at the suggestions its given to change the pathing, but im a bit lost as to what i should be changing in the pathing. Did i miss something in one of the lectures?

Slight update i looked into where my defines were and they had to be redone, but now im getting this:

oh god i really dont know what i’ve done :(, it still compiles fine and runs, but i would really like to have the use of the suggestions of IntelliSense.

You didn’t rename the last two.

ah it took me a long time to find the video explaining what to rename them 2, so i’ve changed it to:

            "UE_PROJECT_NAME=BuildingEscape",
            "BuildingEscape_VTABLE=DLLEXPORT_VTABLE",
            "BuildingEscape_API="

its still throwing up syntax highlights though, the code compiles and runs but not having the suggestions is a bit frustrating.

It’s probably to do with maybe one of the engine header files not being included as standard since the last update. It’s been like 10 years since i’ve programmed in c++ and my head is melting lol. If we can fix this im pretty sure the majority of the community will be really happy, im trying to look for work arounds atm, but if you’ve found the solution let me know.

It saying GetOwner is undefined along with PrimaryComponentTick, sorta makes me think that. I dont understand why its not recognising the classes though:

You did not rename these two correctly.

"BuildingEscape_VTABLE=DLLEXPORT_VTABLE",
"BuildingEscape_API="

They should be in all uppercase. The last one should match what you see in your second screenshot on line 10 for example.

Thank you, damn such a rookie mistake, i think it was me googling it for ages made me looking down the wrong path instead of something so obvious. Legend dan! all working great now
