He does make a good point, its better to learn how to do it as it will not work in the next version. The steps for building it are very simple really.
- Create an empty C++ class in the original Example project under a previous version that has a supported plugin version.
- Make a copy of that Example project and rename it to signify it is your working version for 4.24
- Copy the plugin from your Engine versions Marketplace location into your new working project Plugins folder and using a text editor edit the .uplugin file so the engine version line reads 4.24.0
- Delete the old visual studio solution, vs and intermediate.folders from the working project as these are for the wrong engine version.
- Right click on the working Projects uproject file and select 4.24 version of the engine from the list, this will generate a new VS solution, .vs and intermediate folder which will let you rebuild the plugin binaries for that engine version as well.
- Open the solution and Build, this should update all your binaries including the Plugin binaries.
- Run the project and make sure there are no errors reported, and that the plugin is enabled, if not then enable it and restart the editor.
