Hi!
For every 5 minutes spent on adding a feature, it always takes 10 hours to fix the errors, but today it’s different.
I made a new map and added the code to C++ ShooterMainMenu.cpp for it to show up in menus, but when I try to compile the code in UE4, I get this error (Image). Tied removing the code I added and I still get the same error.
Can anybody help me? The project is a Shooter Game template.
Try deleting your binaries and intermediate\build folders. Oh, and never compile in the editor.
Hey -
Compiling in Visual Studio can be done by right-clicking on the name of the project in the solution solution explorer and selecting Build. When doing this, you want to ensure that your solution configuration and solution platform as set to Development Editor and Win64 respectively.
Cheers
where do I compile in Visual Studio?
deleted them both and now im getting an error when starting up that the project could not be compiled
Can’t see any Build option
I’m opening the .cpp in windows explorer because it doesn’t show up in UE content browser if that makes any difference
Do you have the project open in Visual Studio? Or are you right clicking in the editor/windows explorer?
opening the file with Visual Studio via windows explorer
You’re opening the solution file, not the .cpp file, yes?
ehmmm…
where is the solution file?
If you don’t have a .sln file (yourproject.sln) then right click the uproject and choose ‘regenerate project files’ or something. It has ‘generate’ in there somewhere.
Use the output window, not the errors window, to get build errors.
1 succeeded, 1 failed
It will tell you why it failed, copy+paste the entire log.
But its the same
