****, why you shared your project via mediafire.com, with NinjaCharacterBeta4.zip file, but not with another one git repository at GitHub?

Yeah yeah, I didn’t want to waste time with git.

I created a new C++ FPS project in Unreal Engine v. 4.12.5, and called it “Xs” for the sake of simplicity.
I Created the C++ classes in the Engine, and then(since the project was called “Xs”) I simply copied the code from the *.h and *.cpp files included in the NinjaCharacterBeta4.zip to the newly created *.h and *.cpp files in Visual Studio.
I added the extra dependency line in the Xs.Build file, and tried to compile with Visual Studio Community 2015, but I got :

Maybe I deleted too much in the headers when updating code, the Unity builds may be the culprit. Sorry for that, let me know if you find the fix.

@Crafty;585428

I got it to compile on 4.12.0 (constraint of the project I am working on) except for one function I had to comment out:

protected:
	/** Called when the collision capsule touches another primitive component */
	virtual void CapsuleTouched(UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComp, AActor* Other, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult) override;

Otherwise I get:

warning C4264: 'void UCharacterMovementComponent::CapsuleTouched(AActor *,UPrimitiveComponent *,int32,bool,const FHitResult &)': no override available for virtual member function from base 'UCharacterMovementComponent'; function is hidden

Is there something I can do to get to work with the protected function?

UCharacterMovementComponent::CapsuleTouched? Wrong namespace?
