Plugin source with c++ actor error during build

Jayae · February 26, 2016, 6:37pm

Hi

I’m trying to create a basic plugin which can spawn an actor into the level on clicking a button in the editor UI.
I really can’t get my head around what I’m doing wrong, hopefully it’s just a noob problem?
So I’ve tried to recreate this issue below so that I can better describe the problem I’m having, this is my process:

Create a new blank c++ project called PluginError
Using the plugin wizard, create a new Editor Mode Plugin called TestPlugin, restart the editor
In the content browser, create a new c++ class called MyActor with Actor as the parent class,
So that the plugin can be independent of the project, I have to move the actor files to the plugin folder so:
Close the editor, close Visual Studio
In the project source, find the .cpp and .h files of the actor, and move them to the plugin source folders Private and Public respectively
Generate the projects Visual Studio files by right clicking on the .uproject
Open up the solution in Visual Studio to modify the actor files.
In MyActor.cpp we have to add #include “TestPluginPrivatePCH.h” at the top of the includes
The second include in MyActor.cpp is the project header, which is not in scope since we moved MyActor.cpp, so replace it with “Engine.h” seen as that is the only thing in the project header at the moment anyway
In MyActor.h I have to change the class API PLUGINERROR_API to the correct module, which I assume is TESTPLUGIN_API (What does COREUOBJECT_API & ENGINE_API macro? - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums)

In my mind this should now compile. Obviously there’s no functionality at the moment other than the default plugin from the wizard, but I still get a host of errors when I try to rebuild the solution:

You tried rebuilding?

Thanks for taking a look. I’ve just tried regenerating the visual studio files and rebuilding the entire solution (engine and project) from within VS and I get the same errors.

There’s nothing else in my solution other than what I wrote above so this has completely stumped me! It rebuilds fine up until point 4, but I really need to keep the actor with the plugin source code (right?) so that I can package up my plugin one day…

VS solution is meaningless for UBT it build based on what is in forders rether then VS solution, check what you got in forders. I kind of think this is where there might be your issue, other then that it looks like some UHT junk issue, as error is in generated files, thats why i asked if you rebuild it, if rebuilding does not work try deleting Intermediate forder in project directory,

Or this might be also some inproper include. You said you place Engine.h in some file, Engine.h should be included in TestPluginPrivatePCH.h as a first include + if you include something else from engine it Engine.h is sometimes ingerented from there

Hey, thanks!

Deleting Intermediate didn’t have an effect.

I took a closer look at the includes and TestPluginPrivatePCH.h didn’t include Engine.h. I added it there and removed it from MyActor.cpp (where I had added it) and got a successful build!!

Thanks for your help

It solved for me adding Engine.h header file in PCH plugin headers.
