Hi,
I’m new to unreal. I’m following a tutorial and seem to have failed at the first compile attempt.
I’m getting a few errors but I suspect they are all related to the UBoxComponent - undeclared identifier.
It feels like I’ve forgetten to include something as when I’m typing in Visual Studio UBoxComponent never appears as an 'autofill option.
I’ve pasted the code below and would appreciate any help / tips.
I’m using Unreal 4.16.2 on a PC
