when using the intellisense prompt of VS2022 to automatically include the header file in the code in the Cpp file, the following error always occurs

#include "../Config/UGConfigManager.h"

Is there any way to replace the path "../" with a full path? Like this:

#include "Game/Config/UGConfigManager.h"

EDIT: In UE5, you need to change NMake's IncludeSearchPath instead of VC Directories in Properties -> NMake

CodePudding user response：

You need to add an include path to the "Game" folder.

To set an include path you now must right-click a project and go to:

Properties -> VC   Directories -> General -> Include Directories

Then add the include directory like so:

C:/foobar/Game

First try using an absolute path. And if that works you will want to use a Macro. Macros allow users to define paths without being specific to their own computer (So other people can use it).

Perhaps what you need is $(ProjectDir) but I can't tell since I don't know where "Game" is relative to your project files.

But as an example:

$(ProjectDir)/Game

It's worth pointing out that what you are doing is interacting with the compiler option /I on the MSVC compiler. Visual Studio is just a gui abstracting it away for you.

Here are the docs on /I (Additional include directories)
