Error when subclassing a component

Development Programming & Scripting

I’m trying to create my own spring arm component (MySpringArmComponent) that inherits from the base SpringArmComponent.

I add the code from Unreal and everything works fine (I can see it in the component list in the editor).

However, when I try and override a function from the base class (UpdateDesiredArmLocation() in this case), I get the following error:

error C4273: ‘USpringArmComponent::UpdateDesiredArmLocation’ : inconsistent dll linkage

This seems to be related to the class macro, but I can’t quite figure out how to fix it.

My class has the format:
class MYGAME_API UMyGameSpringArmComponent : public USpringArmComponent

The base class has the format:
class ENGINE_API USpringArmComponent : public USceneComponent

I haven’t done anything fancy, I just created the new class using the standard Unreal workflow.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help!

Sigh, never mind, I found the problem. I had a copy/paste error on USpringArmComponent::UpdateDesiredArmLocation() in my cpp file.

Thanks!
