Hello,
I’m trying to compile this code without success to add it to my function library but I’m constantly falling back on these compilation errors that I can’t understand where the problem comes from.

Need help please

the code I’m trying to compile is as follows :

Hello.

The code you’re trying to compile contains type that doesn’t exist anymore (GFileManager).
The source you can see in that tutorial is extremely old and I’m not sure if it’ll even work, but GFileManager was possible replaced with IFileManager. You can get it like so:

IFileManager::Get()

Keep in mind tho, that it returns reference (not a pointer) so you’ll have to change the way you call functions on it (change arrows[->] to dots[.]). Example:

// Old code
GFileManager->DirectoryExists( *SaveDirectory)

// New code:
IFileManager::Get().DirectoryExists( *SaveDirectory)

Also, some/most of the functions used in tutorial might have change into different ones so you’d have to check FileHelper.h and see if you can find something that would work for you. Also, you might have to include that file in your .cpp file.

Cheers.
