Hi ,

If \_Implementation() is giving you issues, please be sure that you have already declared the function in the .h file and also defined the function without the implementation before it such as:

```
APickUp::OnPickedUp()
{

}

APickUp::OnPickedUp_Implementation()
{
      //Your code here
}

```

I don’t understand why that would be giving you an issue. Are you defining this in the .cpp or the .h? Be sure that you are not trying to declare it in the .h before defining in the .cpp, as the ‘GENERATED\_UCLASS\_BODY’ that is being used in the tutorial takes care of the declaring for you. If you are using 'GENERATED\_BODY" however, be sure to add the following to the .h

```
APickUp(const FObjectInitializer& ObjectIntializer);

```

as a declaration.

The only tutorials we have that are kept up to date on a regular basis are the documentation ones that you mentioned. I would suggest that you check out the community wiki as a lot of users make tutorials of their own to help others.
