C++ Source Code Compilation

Back to Posts

What is a proper way of using/adding project custom C++ source code into the Unreal for Aximmetry? Simple creation of C++ class inside Unreal for Aximmetry and compiling the solution results in an error:

----------
Couldn't find target rules file for target 'UE4Editor' in rules assembly 'UE4Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Microsoft.MakeFile.targets(45, 5): [MSB3073] The command ""C:\Program Files\Aximmetry DE\UnrealEngine\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat" MyProjectEditor Win64 Development -Project="D:\Aximmetry\Projects\MyProject\MyProject.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6.
----------

I checked twice, (...)Editor.Target.cs is present under \MyProject\Source\MyProjectEditor.Target.cs.

This question also touches on the topic of migration of the existing UE4 4.27.1 project that contains C++ source code.

I am using Windows 10 v19043.1348, Unreal for Aximmetry v4.27.1, and Visual Community Edition 2019 v16.11.5.

Hi Martin,

Creating C++ classes is not supported in UE for Aximmetry. However, you can add C++ code by building your own plugin then placing it under Engine\Plugins\Marketplace of the official Unreal Engine, then performing the same steps we described for 3rd party plugins.
We also developed a slightly faster workflow for such cases, which includes using some custom files. If interested please write to sales@aximmetry.com.

If you have a custom Unreal Engine where you actually modify the Unreal Engine's source code then the problem is quite different and we do not support custom Unreal Engines.

Warmest regards,

Hi Eifert,

Is c++ class creation supported with newer version of UE for Aximmetry like 2023.2.2 ?

Thanks.

Mat.

Hi,

C++ class creation within Unreal Engine for Aximmetry is still not supported in the newest version (2023.3.0 Beta).
Instead, you can use the workaround of building a plugin in the original Unreal.

Warmest regards,

Hi,

This limitation has been addressed in the latest version of Aximmetry, 2024.1.0. You should now be able to use your own C++ class within the Unreal Editor for Aximmetry without a problem.

Furthermore, the newest version of Aximmetry introduces a modified process for installing plugins in the Unreal Editor for Aximmetry. For detailed instructions, please refer to the documentation here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/obtaining-graphics-and-virtual-assets/creating-content/creating-content-for-aximmetry-de/ue5-how-to-install-third-party-code-plugins-for-unreal-editor-for-aximmetry/
