Can't attach camera to capsule component

I’m getting the error that = on line 70 in MyCharacter.ccp is left operand?

Hi Ranhay,

AttachTo is a function, so you need to pass arguments to it rather than using the equal operand. Documentation Link

If you are in the constructor (like in your case), I recommend doing it like this:

FirstPersonCameraComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FirstPersonCamera"));
if (FirstPersonCameraComponent ) {
FirstPersonCameraComponent->SetupAttachment(GetCapsuleComponent());
}

now it says attachobjectcomp is unidentified

4

now it says attachobjectcomp is unidentified

5

Sorry about that, updated with your variable name

6

Try adding the include for capsule component at the top of the CPP file: #include “Components/CapsuleComponent.h”

7

now it says on the UCapsuleComponent is incompatible with parameter of type USceneComponent
