Can't create Blueprint Plugin

jobim · October 25, 2016, 12:25pm

HI, I’m trying to build a Blueprint Plugin in an unreal 4.12.5 project, but when I try to
compile, even if I try only with unreal standard code I get lot of errors; the plugin is called WindStarz

Can someone help me?
Thanks!

Solved, it was the 07 in the name of the directory. Never use numbers at the beginning of your root folder!

Schmildo · July 5, 2020, 7:17am

OMG Thank you.
I that worked for me. I wish i’d known that earlier!
Given that this is still an issue in 2020… am I to assume that this is one of those bugs that nobody cares about and everyone ‘just knows’?
As a newcommer to unreal engine (and having been out of c++ prograamming for some time) this bug caused me alot of grief.

Thank you so much for this Jobim!

It’s especially painful when using Teamcity for building your game, because that POS uses randomly-generated folders with leading numbers as root directory, which will bork all the custom defines used in the generated.h files.

this is a how do I use my compiler and computer question.

Has nothing to do with unreal.

Please keep the chatter to a minimum. Or people like me that actually answer questions will leave.

Your post helped me so much, thank you!
P.S. Seeing comments like this makes me feel relieved that I`m not alone
