C:/ueproj/projeight/Source/projeight/CPP_Object.h(11): Error: When compiling class definition for '', attempting to strip prefix results in an empty name. Did you leave off a prefix?
Build failed.
I face this error while trying to create a new class from an object or an actor.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
The error message suggests that there is an issue with the class definition for an object declared in the header file. The error specifically indicates that there is an attempt to strip a prefix that results in an empty name.
It’s hard to tell without seeing the code in the header file but it’s likely that there is a typo or syntax error in the code leading up to the class definition that is causing the issue. Check the code carefully for any such errors.
I literally did nothing since its my first attempt of creating a c++ class. I just clicked tools->new c++ class-> actors->set the name, and thats what I got.
It did generated a .h and .cpp file for me, be nearly 10k errors occured within it, mainly about it can’t find the header files. Here are the codes.
