I wanted to make a Plugin for my project, but when I try to hit Create Plugin, it gives me this error:

Failed to compile plugin source code. See output log for more information.

Output log:

Maybe you encountered this error before, and you know how to fix this?
Help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi NewSkyLineYT,

Try fixing this one first (just replace as it states):

Thanks for the answer, but I can’t fix it, because the file doesn’t exist after it gives me the warning that the source code couldn't compile.

Looks like it fixed itself after creating a new project, maybe the name was the issue, don’t know :sweat_smile: But thanks :slight_smile:

Maybe will help others:
Try to remove binaries and rebuild and then create the Plugin from the Editor.
I’ve also closed VisualStudio for the creation time to not have it latch onto some files just in case.
