Alternative to create c++ files when code isn't stable

I need to create some c++ files. I know to create c++ files for my plugin through Unreal Engine’s Editor.

However my Project is undergoing a rewrite so won’t compile right now (Build Errors, Modules missing or different).

Is there a good alternative way to add c++ files (through Visual Studio, explorer, tying a c++ file to the leg of a white raven and sending it to Santa?)

Yep, you can add scripts to your project by opening up your project folder, navigating to the Source folder, then into the folder with your project name on it under the Source folder, and inside you should see 2 folders named Public and Private (it’s also ok if there aren’t, but you can create them manually as well) which you can put your header and C++ files into respectively.

Disclaimer: Even though this is totally safe, you should always make sure to have a backup of your project before adjusting the project files manually!!!
