I really appreciate your work on this. May I know if your plugin has a version for UE4.8?

anonymous_user_24eca3fd · July 8, 2015, 8:24pm

Which version are you using? I tried 4.6 to 4.8 , all of them gave me this error: Wiimote plugin cannot be found or in a different version.

Roanoked · July 9, 2015, 9:04am

Same here, we tried to make this plugin work for several hours with versions 4.6 to 4.7 and nothing helped.

When building manually it logs the following:

WiimotePlugin.cpp(8): error C2514: ‘FWiimoteInputDevice’ : class has no constructors
WiimotePlugin.h(23) : see declaration of ‘FWiimoteInputDevice’

It’s for version 4.2 I think… but still got below error:

Still nothing…

Anyone got the plugin to work? I’m having the same errors everyone here is having!

Thanks!

windywang · July 20, 2015, 2:20am

I worked on 4.7, and I will try a clean build of 4.8, thanks for you reply

windywang · July 24, 2015, 3:55am

you can try place the “Wiimote”(not “UE4-Wiimote-Plugin”) under UnrealEngine/Engine/Plugins/ folder, and regenerated the solution/project files.
besides, copy the “wiiuse.dll” into UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Win64/

PabloCo · July 26, 2015, 4:45pm

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I did all like you said and I’m getting the “wiimote could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.” error when trying to rebuild

I’ve tried to compile this plugin for UE 4.8.
But,This error logs appeard.

Hi!
this is the message I get…
I am not able to find any dll file with this name… are you sure to have made one?
do you know where is it?

thanks!

anonymous_user_0a972c7b · February 4, 2016, 3:06am

Hello, I installed the plugin on 4.10 and buttons are woking very well. However with vectos Tilt, Gravity, Acceleration and RotationRate have some problems. Actually can’t recieve any value (vector) that is being sent by the plugin.

This what I have:

I am just sending dumy values using Tilt vector when any event happen in the wiimote

&stc=1

Then, configure te proyect use the vector Tilt: Edit->Proyect Settings->Input. Bound Tilt vector with the key “Move”

&stc=1

Now In C++ I am trying to get the value of Tilt bounding the key “Move” with the function Move

&stc=1

Nueva imagen (1).png &stc=1

But in function Move I am getting only zeros.

Any Idea How can recieve the correct of Tilt?

Thanks!! and sorry for myEnglish.

go_go · February 24, 2016, 7:01pm

Hi Gustavo,

I’m learning to use Windywang’s plugin as well so I can do VR development without a kit.

Using Windywang’s example, I was able to get Tilt values. Here are some screenshots I hope will make it clear.

The Tilt event comes from Input -> Motion Event, or you can log the values with Input - Motion Values.

input motion values.PNG

Before this will work, we have to enable the Wiimote features. I am not sure if the character creation section is the best place, maybe Level Blueprint would be better?

I hope this is useful. This worked on 4.11. Good luck!

Thank you Windywang for creating this plugin!

go_go · February 25, 2016, 9:20pm

My turn to ask a question.

It looks like there is IR and nunchuk data being logged in UE Log, but I am unable to find these values through any functions. I found where they get sent to the log, but it looks like they need to get passed to an event handler to become useful.

Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about exposing these values? I was thinking I could add them in as extra buttons (float axis) on the Wiimote, but as I am a novice of this engine I’m not sure if that is the right approach to take. The other motion values from the wiimote itself are already sent through here.

Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks!

FlashFreak · March 22, 2016, 3:56pm

Hey Go_Go,

Thanks for these posts, they’ve been helpful.

I’ve managed to compile 10.4 with the plug-in set up. In plug-ins, I can see Wiimote and enable it. I also recreated your construction script in the BP for the 1st person player.

Not getting any readings from the Wiimote (I’m using an original with nunchuk, it’s paired, first light off, next 3 on, windows is definitely seeing it).

Essentially, I’m really only interested in the nunchuk (doing a project with Occulus DK2 and a Kinect 2 for Windows). I want to use the nunchuk analog stick to control movement and the Z and C buttons for fire / interaction.

Have you made any headway?

Thanks!

Nevermind guys, solved it a different way.

anonymous_user_c5f01bcb · June 15, 2016, 12:56pm

Hello,

i am trying to use this plugin to move an onscreen mouse. I got it to run, but the the mouse cursor is jumping around. I have no clue why this is. There also quite a bit of lag. Maybe the prints to the log cause the lag?

My question is how can I disable the output to the console? Is there a way without having to compile the plugin again?

anonymous_user_b6061e4b1 · July 13, 2016, 9:33pm

Hey guy,

to everybody who managed to set up the plugin, I am still encoutering the same error over and over again. The UE4Editor-Wiimote.dll is missing. Please point me in the direction of a solution.

anonymous_user_dcfb7c20 · January 21, 2018, 6:12pm

Create a Blank C++ Project
Close the UE-Editor
Download the the Plugin from: GitHub - xoyojank/UE4-Wiimote-Plugin
Copy the Wiimote folder from the archive into your Plugins-Folder of your Blank C++ Project
Replace the Wiimote.Build.cs with the following **4.18 **updated changes
Right click the ProjectName.uprojectfile inside the root of your project folder and Generate Visual Studio project files
Double-Click ProjectName.sln to open your Blank C++ Project in Visual Studio
Build your project
If needed copy the wiiuse.dll into the UnrealEngine/Epic Games/UE_4.18/Engine/Binaries/Win64 folder
Open your Blank C++ Project, if the Wiimote was found and the controller was initialized you will get a log message (screenshot #1)
Add the Twin Stick** Shooter** example to your project
Map the inputs (screenshot #2) and play!

(Hint: If the UE-Buildtool does not update the includes/dependencies of the copied plugin (compiler errors in VS), open the project in the Editor and go to ***File->Refresh Visual Studio Project. ***Close the Editor and open or reload the VS-Project again.)

            {
                // ... add private dependencies that you statically link with here ...    
            }
            );


        DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.AddRange(
            new string]
            {
                // ... add any modules that your module loads dynamically here ...
            }
            );

        if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win64)
        {
            PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add(Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "WiiUse\\lib\\Win64", "wiiuse.lib"));

            PrivateIncludePaths.Add(Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "WiiUse\\inc"));
        }

        PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("wiiuse.dll");
    }
}

I hope I could help!

Can anyone say me how to get XY coordinates from Wiimote? Want to use it as a mouse as well.
