I am not sure what the problem is.
I just noticed you wrote *" i have tried adding this line of code in the public section of the AActor class in Actor.h" *
Are you editing the Actor class itself?
You should not edit the actor class.

You should create a child class and work on that

create a MyActor class that derives from Actor.

You can do that in the editor / content browser / new C++ class / Parent Class Actor
that should open up both your New Class Header and CPP file in Visual Studio

Compile them with no changes.

Then add the function declaration like you did to the .h file and the prototype to .cpp it should work.

I am editing the actor class, the idea was to use a virtual function so that the children of the actor class can have their own prototypes of Hit(), so i’m guessing this isn’t the way to do it. Thanks for the help!
