I’m having difficulty getting my actor class to see the ProceduralMeshComponent.h. I’ve added the following to my Build.cs and still the header file is not found. What am I doing wrong? When I #include this it gets red squigleys underneath and says that it cannot be opened.
public class Game: ModuleRules
{
public Game(TargetInfo Target)
{
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "ProceduralMeshComponent" });
PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] { "ProceduralMeshComponent/Public", "ProceduralMeshComponent/Classes" });
}
}
Well for now I’ve just re-implemented the ProceduralMeshComponent as an extension of the MeshComponent. This appears to work. I wish I could just utilize the actual ProceduralMeshComponent.h. I’ll leave this unresolved until I can get that. I must not understand how to use a plugin as a template yet.
In my case, I can use the ProceduralMeshComponent.h header without including any path into PublicIncludePaths or PrivareIncludePaths. Try to remove those.
I’m still eager to find this out. It’s not really a big deal because I have it working by extending the meshComponent and just copy pasting all the procedural mesh component stuff into my own version.
Okay, I found a significant difference. When I use the header in my project it is found. But when I use it in my plugin within my project it is not found. Problem is that I need it in the plugin
Okay I might have found a solution. Add the following additional dependency to your .uplugin file (or correspondingly to your .uproject file) in the module section:
It’s been awhile since I’ve tried fixing this so I had added a new question but realized I had already posted one (at least). So my solution before was to create a dummy class and just copy paste it all into there. This worked. But now many versions later I would like to fix it the right way. I’ve verified that ProceduralMeshComponent is in my .UProject. I’ve added it in my build.cs - both under public and private dependencies. The moment I add include “ProceduralMeshComponent.h” to my actor class header intelisense freaks out. Immediately under where the myactorclass.generated.h is listed the “UCLASS” has a red line under it. What is going on? Additionally I’ve checked that ProceduralMeshComponent is turned on as a plugin in the editor (don’t think this would stop visual studio from seeing a header file). I’ve gone through every post out there on what people do and they all say the same things. It appears many many people are solving this by making a dummy class and not officially including the version epic made. So whats the deal here?
