Unable to "Generate Visual Studio Project"

[pale hull]

As seen in lecture 30, at 7:45, you are supposed to be able to generate a visual studio project, but I don't have the option to "Generate Visual Studio Project". I've tried looking up what to do, but nothing seems to be working.

Did you create a C++ project when you made your project? Also something to try, in the editor, I think under tools there should be an option to add new C++ class, select that add any class you want, which in turn should generate the project files for you. Then going forward you should be able to right click the uproject and generate that way

Adding to what Shadow mentioned... If you created your project as a BP project instead of C++, you can add a new C++ file.. I would "think" from here you would then have your VS project.

Okay, thanks guys- I'll try it out

@grand jolt Thank you lol I thought it was under tools. Lol couldn't remember

[grand jolt]

You bet! 🙂

[pale hull]

So I should open it without generating the project andthen make a new class?

[inland fiber]

Yes go ahead and open your project

[pale hull]

and then make another class?

[inland fiber]

Yeah follow what @grand jolt showed above

It now works! The files show- thank you both @grand jolt and @inland fiber!!

Awesome! Glad we could help.

Another way to do it from the content drawer menu
Nav to the C++ Classes folder. The add new class...
You will get LOTS of practice at this in the course. 😉

Once you get your feet wet we can show you how to do it from Visual Studio... If you don't do it right, it will put the class in the wrong location. 🙂

Thanks!

Lol and once you get used to it, @pale hull I'll show you the whole public / private setup. Which is totally not necessary but it's preferred
