How do I reference variables in different plugin files?

I have Plugin.cpp. There are variables in Plugin.cpp that PluginComponent.cpp needs. All files reside in the same plugin folder. How do I do that?

Figured it out! First, you need to make a way for PluginComponent.cpp to get the plugin (or module).

Add this to your Plugin.h:

static inline FPluginModule& Get()
{
	return FModuleManager::LoadModuleChecked< FPluginModule >( "PluginName" );
}

PluginName should be the same name you chose for your plugin. This is found in your Plugin.uplugin file under Modules > Name.

Then in PluginComponent.cpp you can access your Plugin.cpp variables via:

FPluginModule::Get().yourPublicVariable;
