Hi,
I am wondering if anyone ever was able to get VSCode with intellisense working with UE4. I’ve wasted several days of attempting to make it here and there, but always gave up eventually. My latest attempt is also not going anywhere. I also saw various YouTube tutorials about setting up VSCode with UE4, but they all had intellisense too. I’ve never seen anyone actually having unreal cpp files open in VSCode without intellisense throwing errors.
- The first step is to install Visual Studio Code, so if you don’t have it already installed you can download it here. After you install and start it, open the Extensions tab (View-Extensions) and search for “Oculus Debugger”, then click on the Install button.

This is where I am at currently:
Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform. Ue4-snippets package. Adds useful snippets for working with Unreal Engine 4 C Code.
This is 100% stock FPS C++ template, and yet it just never ever works without errors. I’ve tried to delete folders and re-generate the project files like 10 times over, but it never helped. Neither did any other suggestions I’ve found on google[/VAR]

C++ Class Wizard
The C++ Class Wizard provides a fast and easy way to add native C++ code classes into your project for you to extend with your own functionality, if you wish. This converts a content-only project into a code project. You can access the C++ Class Wizard like so:
Please make sure you are running Visual Studio 2015 or higher for Windows Desktop installed before proceeding. If you are using Mac, make sure to have Xcode 8 or higher installed.
In the main editor, select File > New C++ Class...
The C++ Class Wizard will appear, showing commonly added classes. If you do not see the class you are looking for, then you will need to view the entire Class hierarchy listing. Click the Show All Classes checkbox in the upper-right corner of the window.
Choose the Class you wish to add and click the Next > button.
You will then be prompted to enter a Name for your new Class. Do so and click the Create Class button. This will create the header (.h) and source (.cpp) files.
Class names may only contain alphanumeric characters and cannot contain spaces. The field will notify you if you enter an invalid name.

For instructions on compiling your Class when finished editing, please see the Compiling Projects documentation.
