GameplayDebugging wont compile

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Im turning this into a bug report as I think this doesn’t actually work! (and nobody on the forums or answerhub seem to know about it)

I’ve started trying to follow this tutorial

And added empty versions of the files - MyGameplayDebuggingComponent (AIDirectorGDC) and MyGameplayDebuggingHUDComponent (AIDirectorGDHUDC). I then figured out that this line

“GameplayDebugger module has to be added to project’s dependency modules to be activated and usable.”

Probably means do this

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "AIModule", "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "GameplayDebugger", "InputCore", "UMG", "Slate", "SlateCore" });

When I compile, I get this…

Code:

Does anyone have an example of a working GameplayDebugger and know what Im doing wrong?

Thanks

Hey -

After creating both classes, also be sure to edit the DefaultEngine.ini files as shown in the tutorial. Additionally, according to the tutorial, your MyGameplayDebuggingComponent.cpp file should have an include for GameplayDebuggingComponent.h and MyGameplayDebuggingHUDComponent.cpp should have an include for MyGameplayDebuggingComponent.h

Cheers

Thanks. I’d done the ini bit, but you are correct that my cpp files did not include references to the GameplayDebuggingComponent.h

Adding those two references got the code compiling, and Im back to adding the debug into my plugin.

Thanks for your help.
