I may be a little behind on this, but while looking at the code, I see in the ASCharacter class this line in the constructor

class SURVIVALGAME_API ASCharacter : public ACharacter

I recognize most of that syntax except for ‘SURVIVALGAME_API’ I would expect this instead

class ASCharacter : public ACharacter

What is that extra part of the class declaration?

It’s specific to UE4 way of dealing with modules, if you’re just dealing with one module (which is the default) you need not worry about it, it becomes relevant when dealing with multiple game modules to import classes into another module.
