Good Day!
I got an error that I can’t overcome. UE macros that is supposed to generate cpp file for base classes doesn’t work and my child class isn’t working.
Hope this little information helps you to understand my problem as I have no clue of the issue (I tried: checking UE files, deleting binaries and generating vs files)
Thanks in advance
Hi Fus_Ro_Duh,
What is the error message you get when you compile your project? Often those errors with the red-squiggly lines aren’t actually errors - just MSVC not parsing that bit of code in its realtime parsing…
unless you are compiling from Source "don’t worry about Errors in the engines files, they should be marked Read Only anyways.
if this was your own code file built on top of the engine then you “Should” only be dealing with .h files and not directly including a .cpp much less a .gen.cpp
the only things that should be dealing with including the .cpp much less .gen.cpp is the batch file(s) which for Unreal should be left to the Unreal Build Tool.
The UE_INLINE_GENERATED_CPP_BY_NAME is a macro introduced in 5.1 to speed up compilation.
The example shown is from the engine source so nothing wrong here and it is probably just the IntelliSense showing this as an “error”.
alright, skipped the top bar in the picture.
for the most part unless the user is compiling from source, they shouldn’t be worrying about “errors” in the engine files (though those would still only target .h files for inlcudes)
my statement would be more targeted towards someone writing their own cpp files
