C++ File Compile Error

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I just installed UE4 today and I am following the Twin Stick Shooter tutorial. I got to the part where I have to create my first C++ file, everything works until the part where the file compiles. It says something about auto compile failing and gives me the option to look at the log. I have been searching for a solution the whole day, but I have not found one. I downloaded windows SDK 8.1, I updated visual studio community with C++ common tools and I also installed visual studio express 2013, but still no fix.

This is the log:

It seems I can still load the c++ files from opening visual basic from the engine. What does this error do then?

Bump? (5 Chars Needed)

Can your show header file of BaseCharacter? Also try rebuilding and deleteing Intermediete directory in project directory (you need to regenerate VS project files, you have option for that by right clicking uproject file)

The issue seems to be in generated files by UHT

I only got the error when I create the file, but the file still gets created completely fine, I just open VS from unreal engine and it works fine. I suppose the error doesn’t really matter anyway, I have not noticed anything, but if you know that it is bad, just comment again please, thanks your time though.
