GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(0, 5.0f, FColor::Blue, TEXT("Hello, world!")) Open ModuleActorBase.cpp, then add the following line to the AModuleActorBase::BeginPlay function: h file will be added to the Public folder. cpp file will be added to your module's Private folder, while its. cpp files will open automatically in your IDE. Name the class ModuleActorBase, set the Class Type to Public, then click Create Class. If you do not see MyModule (Runtime) as an option, review the previous sections to ensure you followed the steps correctly. Create a new file called ModuleTestModule.cpp inside this folder.
Navigate to your module's root directory and open the Private folder. To make a quick implementation file, follow these steps: While the Build.cs file makes your module discoverable to UBT, your module also needs to be implemented as a C++ class so that the engine can load and unload it.įortunately, Unreal Engine includes macros that can streamline this process for most common implementations. Now when you add code to this module's folders, that code will be discovered both when UBT builds the project and whenever you generate your IDE project files. This will make several classes available to this module for later steps in this guide. This will add the Core, CoreUObject, and Engine modules as private dependencies for your module. PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string ) public ModuleTest(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target) Open this file and add the following code: To set up your Build.cs file, follow these steps:Ĭreate a file called in your module's root directory. Every module must have a `Build`.cs file, or else UBT will not discover it. When Unreal Build Tool (UBT) looks through your project's directories for dependencies, it ignores your IDE solution file and instead looks at the Build.cs**** files in your Source folder. Your directory structure should resemble this: Inside your module's root directory, create two new folders called Private and Public. This will serve as your module's root directory.
Inside your project's Source folder, make a new folder named ModuleTest. Navigate to your project's root directory, then open the Source folder.
If you are following along with a Blueprint-only project, create a new piece of C++ code in Unreal Editor to convert it to a C++ project.įirst, you need to set up directories to contain the module and its code. To follow this guide, start by creating a new project named MyProject, and make sure it is a C++ project. The module in this example is named ModuleTest. This module will be separate from the primary module for your project. This guide will cover the steps necessary to implement a new runtime module from scratch in C++. Unreal Engine Modules are a useful way to organize your code, improve your project's build times, and configure its loading and unloading processes for systems and code.
