No particle related headers in external dependecies

Hello,

I am having problem with creating ParticleSystemComponent in my classes. Whenever I try to access its members I get an error:

psc_incomplete.png

When I try to navigate to ParticleSystemComponent VS sends me to line 52 of the Emitter.h. I have checked external dependecies and I am missing all of the particle headers. Here is comparison of MyProject and ShooterGame:

When I try to compile code that creates PSC via PCIP

WheelDustPSC_FL = PCIP.CreateDefaultSubobject(this, TEXT("WheelDust_FL"));

I get compiler error:

This happens in all projects I create. My engine version is 1945001.

Dear Michal,

Try putting this at the top of your .h file that you are calling these functions in

or put it at the top of your YourGame.h file (not as recommended0

//All particle definitions for using functions of UParticleSystemComponent
#include "ParticleDefinitions.h"

:slight_smile:

PS: I know from personal experience that this is required and that it does work, so do give it a try :slight_smile:

I’m having the same problem but adding this include did not solve my problem… is there anything else that may cause this?
