Hey @NethakaS,

Hmm, okay. So while 4.27 may not have documentation on VSCode, 5.0 does.

What version of VSCode do you currently have?

My VSCode version is 1.77.2

To set up VSCode as an IDE for UE4, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the C++ extension for VSCode.
  2. Install the Unreal Engine 4 Extension for VSCode.
  3. Configure VSCode to use the Unreal Engine 4 Extension.
