Time for action – Captain obvious to the rescue!

Sometimes we'll get lucky and the compiler error message will trigger an Oh, durhey moment the second we see it.

1. Let's rewrite PostBeginPlay function again:

   simulated function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       MyInt = class'UTGame'.default.CountDown
   }

2. Now let's try to compile.

   [0003.91] Log: R:\UDK\UDK-AwesomeGame\Development\Src\BrokenGame\Classes\BrokenActor.uc(9) : Error, Missing ';' before '}'

3. Oh, duh, we forgot the semicolon at the end of the line.

   simulated function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       MyInt = class'UTGame'.default.CountDown;
   }

4. Now it compiles!

What just happened?

Sometimes compiler errors are really self explanatory. Let's take a look at another one.
