How do I include LyraGame in my GameFeature Plugin? [UE5]

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I have created a new GameFeature Plugin in the LyraStartingGame Example and am now trying to add a new class that derives from ULyraCameraMode like this:

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "Camera/LyraCameraMode.h"
#include "Curves/CurveFloat.h"

UCLASS(Abstract, Blueprintable)
class ULyraCameraMode_MyPluginCamera : public ULyraCameraMode
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
...

Visual Studio tells me, that it can not load source file “Camera/LyraCameraMode.h”. And when I try to compile anyway I unsurprisingly get about 12 thousand Errors (not exaggerating).

I assume that this happens because I have not properly set dependencies for my plugin, but I can’t find out where I can set these.

I have added this bit in my Plugin.Build.cs:

		PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(
			new string[]
			{
				"Core",
				"LyraGame"
			}
			);

Is there anything else I need to reference? I’ve been stuck on this for way too long.

Thank you very much for your time.

Hiya!

Did you ever figure this out? Think I’m gonna get stuck here for a while too.

I’m attempting to create my own Lyra Plugin so that I can create my own mods and be able to move them to other projects if needed. Here are the public dependencies I’ve used inside my .build so far.

I wanted to make my own GameFrameworkComponent and hit the include errors. I added “ModularGameplay” and “GameFeatures” and generated the Visual Studio project to stop intellisense from complaining.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Edit: I tried #include “Camera/LyraCameraMode.h” and it’s not complaining.

I tried extending the ALyraCharacter class and was missing “AIModule” and “GameplayAbilities” dependencies.

I got this working in 5.3 by adding “LyraGame” also to my PublicIncludePaths as well. Looks like the PublicDependencyModuleNames list does not do that automatically.

For anyone else, in my experience I had to add the module dependencies and THEN create the c++ files for intellisense to work in Visual Studio.

I was struggling because I created the C++ first and tried to correct dependencies afterward.
