Incorporating our own C++

Hi guys,

Currently been toiling with the best approaches to get our C++ game code built into the Unreal Engine. Up to this point we were using a DLL and calling C++ functions through a C# script in the Unity engine, but with the recent release of UE4 with its subscription packages (along with general improvements over Unity) we have begun looking at the possibility of linking our own C++ code to run through this engine instead. Now for Unity, we stripped down the current code base to get basic physics information for objects positions and such, camera positions and general game/player data from our global game class structures.

Now I’m curious as to how difficult it would be and what approaches would be best to use this existing framework we have in C++ but incorporate it into the Unreal engine so that we are able to perform most of the rendering and such but keep the physics calculations and basically, the current game as it stands at the moment, just as a quick test so we have our own framework still in place to build upon.

Thanks
