vscode-to-unreal

A Visual Code extension to send python code to Unreal Engine.

Usage

To run the test you need to first, enable the python scripting plugin and turn on “Enable Remote Execution” under “Project settings” => Plugins => Python =>Python Remote Execution

In Visual Code with the python code you want to run in UE opened :

• Open Command Palette (CTRL + Shift + P)
• type : Unreal
• click on "Connect Visual Code to Unreal" (Visual Code should connect to the first unreal node it will find)

Every time you want to send code (after connection is done) :

• Open Command Palette (CTRL + Shift + P)
• type : Unreal
• click on "Send current code to Unreal Engine"

NB : If code is selected, only that snippet will be sent. If no selection, the entire file is sent.

Unreal Engine remote_execution.py to remote_execution.ts

remote_execution.ts is a direct port of remote_execution.py to TypeScript. Original repository is here : https://github.com/francoisgfx/remote_execution.ts

Todo

The Visual Code extension is not complete and still in development as I am quite new to this. Most of the work has been done on remote_execution.ts.

• UI to select the remote box
• bind shortcut to commands
