Is there a plugin creation tool to get everything set up properly for a plugin?

Hey guys,

I’ve tried over the past year a few times to make a plugin but consistently ran into compiler hell.
I’m still not sure what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t manage to add actors to a project even if I try to do it using the BlankPlugin as a template.
Is there a tool for creating plugins properly or a really good plugin I could look at as a template for making a plugin that includes a few actor types and some content?

Thanks!
