Hello Unreal Engine community,
This is my first post as I am trying to understand getting started on Unreal Engine with C++. I was following a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvruYLgjKkk&t=382s
and I observed I was not able to follow along past 3-4 minutes in, when the video shows TutorialGameModeBase.h and TutorialGameModeBase.cpp. I don’t have these files when I create a new blank project. My settings were:
-
Visual Studio Community 22 with Game development with C++ workload, and Unreal Engine installer checked under installation details for game dev w. C++
-
Unreal Engine 5.5.4 installed
-
New blank gaming project with C++ and starter content left unchecked
-
I also tried asking an AI (gemini, meh, i’m not too fond of AI reliability yet but worth a shot) and it pointed out i am missing a UE_5.5/Templates/TP_BlankCPP , and suggested I reinstall Unreal Engine 5.5.4 entirely. I want to avoid that option if I can just trouble shoot, so i asked chatbot to make me the missing template files, so i have those but they don’t seem to work. I can share the files if it makes sense but in hindsight that idea might just not work, idk…
I realize I could just make the files manually but I want to make sure my workflow is correct. If I should be starting with a different resource, let me know as well. Thank you for reading and I appreciate any feedback!
