Bottom Line Up Front: I am using VS2017, the thirdperson C++ template, and am getting linker errors. I basically copied the entire crouch code in order to add prone as a movement funciton. Almost all of my edits took place the character.h/character.cpp. All of my new prone functions return linker error2001, I have spent over 6 hours trying to fix this…
I have tried everything with this error. I have:
- Deleted all of the folders in my game directory except source and config.
- Generated a new .sln
- did a full rebuild
- switched the solution configuration
- reinstalled VS2017…
I feel like I am missing something simple, because this shouldn’t be that hard…
Again, ALL I did was copy the crouch code and rename everything to prone to start off…
Please HELP!!!
