The method with the override invalidator did not invalidate any base class method

Question

I'm learning Unreal Engine 4.13.2 and C++ using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.

I think my problem is a C++ so I think the best place to ask about it is here.

I have a C++ class that inherits from AActor class. I have to override a method from AActor so I have put this on my header file:

virtual void ReceiveHit(class UPrimitiveComponent* MyComp, class AActor* Other, class UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, bool bSelfMoved, FVector HitLocation, FVector HitNormal, FVector NormalImpulse, const FHitResult& Hit);

And also I have implemented in the cpp file.

But I get the following compiler error:

MyActor.h(23): error C3668: 'MyActor::ReceiveHit': The method with the override invalidator did not invalidate any base class method

I have copied ReceiveHit method from AActor.h file and I get that error.

I have also another methods overridden without problems. This is MyActor header file:

#pragma once

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "MyActor.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class MYGAME_API AMyActor : public AActor
{
    GENERATED_BODY()

public: 
    // Sets default values for this actor's properties
    AMyActor();

    // Called when the game starts or when spawned
    virtual void BeginPlay() override;

    // Called every frame
    virtual void Tick( float DeltaSeconds ) override;

    virtual void ReceiveHit(class UPrimitiveComponent* MyComp, AActor* Other, class UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, bool bSelfMoved, FVector HitLocation, FVector HitNormal, FVector NormalImpulse, const FHitResult& Hit) override;

private:
    UProjectileMovementComponent* MyMovement;
};

How can I fix this error?

Answer 1

The problem is that this is not a virtual method. They've changed the API and I was following an old example.

No, I can use NotifyHit that is virtual and I can override it:

virtual void NotifyHit
(
    class UPrimitiveComponent * MyComp,
    AActor * Other,
    class UPrimitiveComponent * OtherComp,
    bool bSelfMoved,
    FVector HitLocation,
    FVector HitNormal,
    FVector NormalImpulse,
    const FHitResult & Hit
)
