I have created an actor cpp class called gun base. for some reason it is causing a perpetual crash in unreal.
this is its header file.
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#pragma once
#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "GunBase.generated.h"
UCLASS()
class GIZMOSHOOTER_API AGunBase : public AActor
{
GENERATED_BODY()
public:
// Sets default values for this actor's properties
AGunBase();
protected:
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
virtual void BeginPlay() override;
public:
// Called every frame
virtual void Tick(float DeltaTime) override;
//virtual void PullTrigger();
private:
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
USoundBase* FireSound;
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
UParticleSystem* MuzzleFlash;
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
USceneComponent* RootSceneComponent = nullptr;
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
UStaticMeshComponent* GunMesh = nullptr;
UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly)
USceneComponent* BulletSpawnPoint = nullptr;
};
and this is the cpp file.
// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
#include "GunBase.h"
#include <Components/StaticMeshComponent.h>
#include <Components/SceneComponent.h>
// Sets default values
AGunBase::AGunBase()
{
// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
RootSceneComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(TEXT("Root"));
RootSceneComponent->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);
GunMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
GunMesh->SetupAttachment(RootSceneComponent);
BulletSpawnPoint->SetupAttachment(GunMesh); //This is the line its complaining about
}
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AGunBase::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
}
// Called every frame
void AGunBase::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
}
The crash is saying something about an exception access violation, and in particular is referencing line seventeen on the cpp file which has a comment on it. Just in case this means something, I have tried several things to get this code to work, I then builded it, and tried to open the project in unreal again but i always got a crash. thanks.
Edit: I had a function in the header file (pulltrigger its commented out) that was causing me errors but I commented it out and the crash is still occuring.
