Hi, I am trying to follow this guide here to expose some blueprint functions for the Steam Overlay. A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums
I come across this issue here concerning the steam_api.h file when building.
I have attempted this last night but decided to try to start over again, when I get up to where they make the SteamManager.h file in the guide, I get all sorts of issues with the steam_api.h stuff.

I am not proficient at coding so you will have to explain any possible solutions like I am a 5 year old, apologies.
Thanks for your time.
