See here for instructions in case it doesn’t work out of the box. While many people enjoy using Visual Assist or Resharper, I have found IntelliSense (which comes with Visual Studio) to be generally serviceable, with the occasional glitch. It’s very important that when you’re coding, you’re getting immediate feedback if there is a bug in your code, even before you compile. This will be useful when we’re debugging (see below): Again in Tools/Customize, select Toolbar and Debug, then add the Disconnect button.

Being able to step inside Unreal‘s code when debugging is invaluable.

Make sure to install the debug symbols when you install Unreal.Detailed instructions are here, so I’ll just mention a few points of interest: As of Unreal 4.23 I installed Visual Studio 2019 and it works fine. While you don’t need anything additional if you just use Blueprints, in order to use C++ you’ll need to install Visual Studio. On the other hand, if you want to write code with enough computational cost (in my case AI) then I would expect Blueprints to be as much as 10x slower than C++ (though performance will be much closer with Nativization). At the same time, I’m scared by what the graphs will look like as complexity increases.įinally, if a game is just a light wrapper over the functionality the engine provides, then Blueprints will perform just fine.

I’m very impressed with what can be accomplished by using Blueprints alone: you have almost full access to everything in the engine. Please report any issues you see via Developer Community and file feature requests if you have them.I feel pretty comfortable in C++ and I want to have great performance in the games I make so, for me, using C++ while developing in Unreal Engine 4 was the way to go. IntelliCode has benefitted greatly from all the rich feedback we’ve received from you – thank you! We hope you’ll help us continue to improve by giving the newly enhanced completions a try and letting us know what you think. For our initial preview release we’re supporting C#, but watch for more languages coming soon! Let us know what you think! It runs right on your local machine while you’re editing, and covers many programming languages too.
