Installation

Installation

kotlin-unreal is developed using Unreal 4.26.1 and Kotlin 1.4.31, but may work with other versions too.

Install Unreal.js

• Install Unreal.js plugin in your engine. The easiest way is finding it on the Unreal Marketplace: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/unrealjs

Check if your installation is correct

• Clone or download this repository
• You should be able to right click the file "KotlinUnreal.uproject" and select "Launch Game"
• You might be asked to recompile or update the project to your engine version and after that you should be seeing the First Person Game example.

Install IntelliJ as your Kotlin editor

• IntelliJ IDEA Community: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/

Check out the map examples

Open the project with the Unreal Editor and open and play the maps located on the Maps directory inside the Content folder. Some of them might look empty at first, but the Kotlin magic will fill them with surprises when you get into the Play mode.

Configure IntelliJ IDEA

Now it will be a good time to configure IntelliJ IDEA to be able to code.
