I was wondering if some one would be able to help me, I have tried searching the forum and web and to do what other people have done who have had similar issues.
When I make a new class it always tells me that the module cannot be created and when in Visual Studio the header file directory cannot be found. I’m currently using 4.25 and I can’t seem to get around the issue. I’ve tried re generating the VS files, ensuring the the files are inherited from parent etc when needed. Eventually on trying to open VS it tells me Unreal cannot open and It’s the wrong version.
I’ve also got 4.22 installed and that works just fine in creating new C++ classes.
I’m honestly lost at what to try next. Any help is much appreciated.
Hi @MrGriffiths ,
Could you post what appears in Output Log when you create a new class? ( Windows > Develeper Tools > Output Log )
What may be happening is that you are creating the class in a subfolder, I usually do this, so you need to open the .cpp file and “fix” the .h location:
Thanks for your reply @SolidSk . I appear to have hit two separate issues.
Issue one is - UE-92876. This has caused me some headaches But there is an easy work around. Creating new classes in sub folders works fine now as long as I don’t set them to public/private.
Thank the lord!
However following what you said , when I create a class derived from another class it still throws an error regarding the module. I have found a fix for this however and it differs from what you advise. On opening the new class which failed to reload I need to remove the sub folder from the .h file for it to compile. So changing Characters/Characters.h to just characters on the new class ( which is derived from another class) it works fine.
I’m still not sure why it cannot find the sub folder despite deriving from an existing class, seems a bit odd!
Here is my log -

@MrGriffiths I created an empty C++ project, then I created a new C++ class inheriting from ACharacter in Characters subfolder ( I didn’t set public/private ). I didn’t have to change the code like you said. The difference of our logs was here:
LogVSAccessor: Warning: Couldn’t goto line number ‘1’ in ‘L:/TEstAgain/MyProject2/Source/MyProject2/Characters/test.h’
LogVSAccessor: Warning: Couldn’t goto line number ‘1’ in 'L:/TEstAgain/MyProject2/Source/MyProject2/Characters/test.cpp’

You need to correct the .h path in the .cpp file. This error is what always happens to me.
