Third Person Character Package imports with linker errors

Third Person Character Package imports with linker errors

Description

I was able to encounter these errors on the latest binary for 4.25.3 when doing a repro for a salesforce ticket. Here is the customers description:

When importing the C++ ThirdPersonCharacter package in a C++ Unreal project, I encounter a Linker error (LNK2019: unresolved external symbol) immediately upon recompile, with all ThirdPersonCharacter source files not showing up in the Source folders of the content browser. When taking a look at the directories in Explorer/Visual Studio, I noticed that the .cpp and .h files are there, however there is no .cs Build file for the TP_ThirdPerson module. This is entirely OOTB on a blank project as well - I have not made any engine modifications, nor have I done anything other than save a Map and create a couple of unrelated child classes in C++ in this project. This is not specific to just my current project, either - it happens consistently every time I import the package on any project.

Here are the errors:

CompilerResultsLog: Error:   TP_ThirdPersonCharacter.cpp.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: static void __cdecl UHeadMountedDisplayFunctionLibrary::ResetOrientationAndPosition(float,enum EOrientPositionSelector::Type)" (__imp_?ResetOrientationAndPosition@UHeadMountedDisplayFunctionLibrary@@SAXMW4Type@EOrientPositio
nSelector@@@Z) referenced in function "protected: void __cdecl ATP_ThirdPersonCharacter::OnResetVR(void)" (?OnResetVR@ATP_ThirdPersonCharacter@@IEAAXXZ)
CompilerResultsLog: Error:   C:\Users\corey\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-MyProject-1173.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create Blank C++ project
  2. Add New -> Add feature or content pack -> C++ Third Person
  3. Click yes on prompt that reads "Added source file(s). Would you like to edit the code now?"
  4. After compile, observe errors

Expected: Compile finishes successfully

Result: Compiler errors, error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
