When I try to compile my c++ code in VS the editor crashes. And even if I first close the editor, compile and try to open it again I still can’t open it.

I receive this crash report:

Can someone help me?

Forget about it, I have found the problem.

Care to share the solution in case it’s helpful to others. Given the callstack, I’m guessing there was something invalid in your ADragonCharacter constructor?

well… I put every line with comment slashes and removed one by one… the error started here:

CameraBoom->CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("CameraBoom"));
	CameraBoom->AttachTo(RootComponent);
	CameraBoom->bEnableCameraRotationLag = true;
	CameraBoom->TargetArmLength = 700.0f;
	CameraBoom->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;
	CameraBoom->CameraLagSpeed = 10.0f;

	FollowCamera->CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FollowCamera"));
	FollowCamera->AttachTo(CameraBoom, USpringArmComponent::SocketName);
	FollowCamera->bUsePawnControlRotation = false;

This is the whole code:

GetCapsuleComponent()->InitCapsuleSize(400.0f, 350.0f);

	bUseControllerRotationPitch = false;
	bUseControllerRotationRoll = false;
	bUseControllerRotationYaw = false;

	GetCharacterMovement()->bCheatFlying = true;
	GetCharacterMovement()->RotationRate = FRotator(0.0f, 540.0f, 0.0f);
	GetCharacterMovement()->AirControl = 0.2f;
	GetCharacterMovement()->BrakingDecelerationFlying = 10.0f;
	GetCharacterMovement()->MaxFlySpeed = 300.0f;
	GetCharacterMovement()->bOrientRotationToMovement = true;
	GetCharacterMovement()->JumpZVelocity = 200.0f;

	CameraBoom->CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("CameraBoom"));
	CameraBoom->AttachTo(RootComponent);
	CameraBoom->bEnableCameraRotationLag = true;
	CameraBoom->TargetArmLength = 700.0f;
	CameraBoom->bUsePawnControlRotation = true;
	CameraBoom->CameraLagSpeed = 10.0f;

	FollowCamera->CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FollowCamera"));
	FollowCamera->AttachTo(CameraBoom, USpringArmComponent::SocketName);
	FollowCamera->bUsePawnControlRotation = false;

Thanks.

Errors are it those two lines of code

CameraBoom->CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("CameraBoom"));
FollowCamera->CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FollowCamera"));

it should be

CameraBoom = CreateDefaultSubobject<USpringArmComponent>(TEXT("CameraBoom"));
FollowCamera = CreateDefaultSubobject<UCameraComponent>(TEXT("FollowCamera"));

instead.
