Hello there!
Recently I’ve decided to go back to the beginning of C++ instead of my usual blueprints route. I was following the tutorial A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums and I came across an issue I can’t seem to figure out on my own.
When adding the camera component my UPROPERTY gives the compiler error “Member Variable Declaration: Missing Variable Type”
I was hoping one of you could tell me what I’m missing or doing wrong.
Here is my FPSCharacter. H and FPS Character.CPP
