Guide to use QtCreator for Unreal Engine 4!

[Antares]

I’m unable to open the project, QtCreator complaining that there is no valid kit found. I do have both visual studio and GCC kits added.

Edit: turns out that because it is using qmake, which requires Qt libraries installed.

Edit 2: Using F2 on certain types don’t work. Example: ACharacter in my character header. When I navigate to USpringArmComponent header, OVERRIDE is not defined.

Edit 3: As it turns out, F2 works fine in .cpp files where the uber Engine.h header is included, but not in .h files. This is a bit of a turn off, as with Visual Studio I can still use Go to Definition in header files, without having to directly include relevant headers.

Are you sure that you have the defines.pri correctly include in your pro file ? In my project the every class works well, you can use F2 (or CTRL + Click) on OVERRIDE or any other class.

To be clear I have add all includepath that was include in Visual Project and all defines in visual project, there should be not missing includepath. But be sure to wait a little bit because OVERRIDE take a little bit longer to be detected in my QtCreator
