Hey heartstone-

Did you add an include statement for the AnimInstance class? If you add `#include " Runtime/Engine/Classes/Animation/AnimationAsset.h" at the top of the .h file you should be able to compile the code.

Cheers

#include "Runtime/Engine/Classes/Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Tip for finding imports:
Go into the solution explorer and search for the unrecognized classname.

IF you find it, then all you have to do is:

Then start typing the import, looking at the suggestions and comparing to the folder structure you see
in the solution explorer.

For me, all my imports needed to be in the format:

#include “…/Relative/Path/To/WhateverClass.h”
