If you have Visual Studio installed, you can switch to 4.17 and build from the project

Are u going to update this to 4.17?

If you are having trouble compiling for 4.17, make sure you have Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 installed. (But beware, Update 3 will only allow your machine to compile UE4.11 and on. So make sure you're not working with older projects.)

If anyone knows how to and has the time could someone please update this to work with 4.17

I switched engine versions on one of my projects to 4.17, as this plugin was part of it anyway, I recompiled it too along with the project files. I tested it on 64-bit shipping build and it works fine for me. Here is the link if anyone wants just the plugin for 4.17

That's awesome of you SB1985! Thanks so much for updating this for everyone. I still don't really comprehend why gamepad functionality isn't already built into the engine.

[SB1985]

No problem XD

Also, I agree, it should be built-in by default inside UE4.

[BEGINWITHLOVE]

Awesome! =)

[Nerdsbeware]

Thank you SB1985 and yeah, should definitely be built in. A lot of plugins like the LE Extended Standard Library and Substance Plugin really should be.

Wait how do I add these to my project?

[SB1985]

Copy it to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.18\Engine\Plugins\

Then copy it again to your project folder, for example: Documents\Unreal Projects\YourProject\Plugins\

Once that is done, open up the project, go to plugins, enable it, restart project, done.
"Enable/Disable Virtual Cursor" should be working in any Blueprint that supports "Get Player Controller"

This version won't bulid past 4.15. in the GamepadUMGPlugin.Build.cs you can't have public GamepadUMGPlugin(TargetInfo Target). You have to change it with public GamepadUMGPlugin(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)

We changed the target rules at https://github.com/metahusk/UE4GamepadUMG

I'm using it on 4.18 without any issues so far. Although, I haven't done any extensive controller testing. Let me know if you have any problems. So far I haven't noticed any.

Thanks alot for this I will give it a try. Also please Epic add this to the base engine. I'm sure lots of people want to ship on console or support gamepad on PC.
