Setting up visual assist x

I’ve completely given up on getting intellisense to work correctly, so I’m moving on to visual assist x. I’ve been having trouble getting intellisense to auto-complete/view basic unreal function (such as GetPawn), and I’m having the same issue with visual assist x, which leads me to believe I don’t have something turned on? It loaded correctly, and there’s a ton of new highlighting that wasn’t there before, so I’m sure its activated. I’m new to game dev, started learning a couple days ago and realizing more and more that auto-complete/function lookup is really important.

Thanks

Hey welcome to VAX life!

Take a look at these:

The last one was the only article I hadn’t seen, and it didn’t change anything :\ I had to re-enable VAssist, so I’m pretty sure it did something, but no fix. Anything else you can think of?

Hey Fullmetal,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Could I get an example of code line which is causing your issue? I tested the following from inside an ACharacter method, for example, and it worked properly.

GetController()->GetPawn()

So I’m not too knowledgeable, but following the top rated course on udemy at the moment, but heres an example of code from the course. Screenshot by Lightshot. Currently when I mouse over any function, it wont show a preview of the parameters, or any information on it.

Sometimes that happens because IntelliSense hasn’t finished parsing the file you opened. When you can’t see the previews, is the following “loading bar” present at the bottom of your Visual Studio window?

If so, try waiting for it to disappear before attempting to preview.

Oh I’m well past that at this point lol for instance, I’ve left visual studios up on my PC all night, came back this morning and still nothing. It never really pops up to be honest, but I have intellisense “Disable IntelliSense” set to False, so its enabled.

The following document contains suggestions for improving IntelliSense with UE4:

Have you tried going to this option and Parse all files when I open this project. restart VAX and then close and reopen all files then give it a sec and it should work.
