Hello ssowhats,

First, if you deleted your intermediates folder, you’re going to need to right-click the .uproject file and Generate Visual Studio Project files to restore the intermediates folder as they are required. After that, please try compiling your project again. If you still receive the “Other Compilation Error (5)” message, then please look at the Output tab instead of the Error List tab. This message means that the compilation error that is occurring is something that the program doesn’t have an error message set up for but you can still see the details of what the problem is in the Output tab.

If you’re still having issues after reading the Output, please copy and paste the Output here and I can try to assist your further.

Hello streak_light,

Can you post the line of code at line 28 in your PickupActor.h? The compilation error is pointing towards that line. Posting the lines around that would be helpful as well, to give context.

8

hi ,
this is my 28th line oh PickupActor.h

private:

// static mesh to allow pickup 

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintCallable, category = "pickup", meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))

class UStaticMeshComponent* PickupMesh ;

looks like the BlueprintCallable property has to be multicast delegate but i don’t know how to define a property as multicast delegate ,

9

For a UPROPERTY, you would want BlueprintReadOnly or BlueprintReadWrite. BlueprintCallable is for a UFUNCTION declaration.

thanks a lot it worked , now i know i have to read carefully about all the blueprint functions.

I’m having this problem as well. I regenerated my intermediates folder, recompiled, but it failed again because of an error within the standard Actor.h class:

CompilerResultsLog: Info C:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/4.12/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Classes/GameFramework/Actor.h(461) : Unrecognized type 'UChildActorComponent' (in expression TWeakObjectPtr<UChildActorComponent>) - type must be a UCLASS

Is there any way to tweak the code so it works or do I have to reload the class code somehow?

12

Yes, you need to regenerate solution after that.

Hello ViolinRobot,

Can you please make a new post about this issue? This is an old post and the “other compilation error(5)” message is a very broad error message for when the compiler doesn’t have an error message related to the problem.

i have a problem…

D:/Documents/Unreal Projects//Source//.h(15): error : Missing ‘*’ in Expected a pointer type
2>EXEC : error : UnrealHeaderTool failed for target ‘GoldenEggEditor’ (platform: Win64, module info: D:\Documents\Unreal Projects\Intermediate\Build\Win64\GoldenEggEditor\Development\GoldenEggEditor.uhtmanifest, exit code: OtherCompilationError (5)).

thank you for attention

"D:/Documents/Unreal Projects//Source//.h(15): error : Missing ‘*’ in Expected a pointer type "

It looks like you’re missing a * on this line.
