Unreal C++ Error: error C2248: 'UPrimitiveComponent::bGenerateOverlapEvents': cannot access private member declared in class 'UPrimitiveComponent'

I am very new with C++ and Unreal Engine 4.

I am creating a pickup script with a box collider and I have an annyoning error with my pick up script. error C2248: 'UPrimitiveComponent::bGenerateOverlapEvents': cannot access private member declared in class 'UPrimitiveComponent':

I am really trying to fix this one but I cant find the fix what I need!

Here is my header code:

// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings. #pragma once #include "CoreMinimal.h" #include "GameFramework/Actor.h" #include "Pickup.generated.h" UCLASS() class XAVIER_CPP_TUT_API APickup : public AActor { GENERATED_BODY() public: // Sets default values for this actor's properties APickup(); // protected: // Called when the game starts or when spawned virtual void BeginPlay() override; public: // Called every frame virtual void Tick(float DeltaSeconds) override; //********************************************* UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) USceneComponent* PickupRoot; //The static mesh for the pick up UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) UStaticMeshComponent* PickupMesh; UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) UShapeComponent* PickupBox; UFUNCTION() void OnPlayerEnterPickupBox(UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComp, AActor* OtherActor, UPrimitiveComponent* otherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult); }; 

Here is my .cpp code:

// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings. #include "Pickup.h" #include "Classes/Components/ShapeComponent.h" #include "Classes/Components/BoxComponent.h" #include "Components/StaticMeshComponent.h" // Sets default values APickup::APickup() { // Set this actor to call Tick() every frame.

Try PickupBox->SetGenerateOverlapEvents(true); instead of PickupBox->bGenerateOverlapEvents = true;
