I am new to unreal engine, with a little experience. I am using Unreal5.3.2 in Visual Studio2022 community. For this question I followed the Multiplayer Programming Quick Start Multiplayer Programming Quick Start for Unreal Engine . The process for following this tutorial went smoothly and I was able to replicate the expected end result of the tutorial.
However, I also tried following this tutorial in the same project as the Multiplayer Programming Quick Start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlAzsB-I1_8&t=216s . The issue I am having is when I create a new .h file I cannot get the include “CoreMinimal.h”include, “Engine/DataTable.h”include , “ItemDataStructs.generated.h” to open their respective source files.
I understand the second tutorial is using Rider IDE, but I would assume their is a way to add a classless header file for just USTRUCT and UENUM usage. The reason I am not using the unreal create c++ class wizard is because I do not want the additional code that comes with empty class via unreal wizard.
When I use build->Build solution I get errors which I am trying to figure out how it relates to my header file not opening source files:
D:\UnrealEngine\UE_5.3\Engine\Plugins\ScriptPlugin\Source\ScriptGeneratorUbtPlugin\ScriptCodeGeneratorBase.cs(12,7,12,22): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘UnrealBuildTool’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
What I have Tried:
- adding existing header item via vs2022
- using file explorer and manually adding .h into source
- after adding header file and include headers generate .uproject project files
- ensuring this issue is not from Multiplayer Programming Quick Start tutorial
I have been researching and looking at many older forums, however I have came up with no solution so far. I will keep trying to figure this out, but any information and guidance is appreciated.
