Getting Started
After installing, navigate to "Edit/Plugins". Enable 'C++ Module Generator' and restart the editor.
Generating a New Module
To generate a new module, simply select the icon from the ‘Window’ menu or toolbar, at the top of the screen.
A window should then appear. Here you will select the desired settings and click ‘Generate New Module’. If successful, the window will prompt you to restart the editor.
Things to Note
- Your project must already have a C++ project setup. E.g. source folder, build targets etc
- If generating inside a plugin the combo box will automatically be populated with any project plugins. Engine and precompiled (In engine folder) plugins will not be included.
- Ensure that your project compiles and is free of errors before generating a new module.
- The editor must be restarted for generated modules to be compiled.
- You can select from one of the two templates or select ‘Custom’ which will allow all options to be selected. The available options can be seen below.
- You may need to right click on your .uproject and select ‘generate visual studio project files’ for the new module to appear in Visual Studio.
