UE4 error compiling due to unknown function EditAnywhere

Question

I've been working on an Unreal Engine 4 game using C++ and I've been working on a dash function, however I followed a YouTube tutorial and I noticed that in the video, they use the function "EditAnywhere" but when I tried to code that my self, my UE4 says that EditAnywhere is unknown function.

Do I need to meet some special requirements to be able to use the "EditAnywhere" function?

My Header file sample code:

UFUNCTION()
void DoubleJump();

UPROPERTY()
int DoubleJumpCounter;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
float JumpHeight;

UFUNCTION()
void Sprint();

UFUNCTION()
void Walk();

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
float WalkingSpeed;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
float RunningSpeed;

UFUNCTION(EditAnywhere)
void Dash();

UPROPERTY()
bool CanDash;

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
float DashStop;

UPROPERTY()
FTimerHandle UnsedHandle;

UFUNCTION()
void StopDashing();

UFUNCTION()
void ResetDash();

Here is a picture of the Error message

Answer 1

You can not have the EditAnywhere for functions!

The EditAnywhere is a property declaration meant only for the variables.

Properties are declared using standard C++ variable syntax, preceded by the UPROPERTY macro which defines property metadata and variable specifiers.

UPROPERTY([specifier, specifier, ...], [meta(key=value, key=value, ...)])
Type VariableName;

Editing functions does not make any sense, but you can specify the function how to act in different places(Example: blueprint, unreal editor, etc). This has been done via UFUNCTION declaration. See the different declarations in the given link for further read.

Answer 2

You can't use EditAnywhere with a UFUNCTION, only with a UPROPERTY. What would it even mean to make a function editable by property windows?

See Property Specifiers and Function Specifiers for the complete list of supported specifiers.
