new to unreal: Problems with FConstructor Statics

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I’m trying to make a simple 2d game, and am currently having problems with the FConstructor Statics syntax i think. Here is the code i have currently:

struct FConstructorStatics
{
ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinderOptional<UPaperFlipbook> RunningAnimationAsset;
ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinderOptional<UPaperFlipbook> IdleAnimationAsset;
ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinderOptional<UPaperFlipbook> JumpingAnimationAsset;
FConstructorStatics()
: RunningAnimationAsset(TEXT(“/Game/2dSideScroller/Sprites/newAnim/Running.Running”))
, IdleAnimationAsset(TEXT(“/Game/2dSideScroller/Sprites/newAnim/Idle.Idle”))
, JumpingAnimationAsset(TEXT(“/Game/2dSideScroller/Sprites/newAnim/jump.jump”))
{
}
};
static FConstructorStatics ConstructorStatics;

RunningAnimation = ConstructorStatics.RunningAnimationAsset.Get();
IdleAnimation = ConstructorStatics.IdleAnimationAsset.Get();
JumpingAnimation = ConstructorStatics.JumpingAnimationAsset.Get();

This works fine for Running and idle, although the JumpingAnimation=… line gives me errors and i have no idea why. Errors include JumpingAnimation is undefined, and another one that says JumpingAnimation: undeclared identifier.

I initialized it and called it the exact same way i did running and idle, what am i not understanding?

Your struct FConstructorStatics looks fine to me. And that’s not what the compiler is complaining about. It’s complaining about JumpingAnimation (not JumpingAnimationAsset). So if you could show the part where you declare JumpingAnimation that would be helpful. It might just be a typo.
