Basically that’s all I can find for that and it seems to kind of assume that I know my way around visual studios. Is there a more step by step version that explains how to get my project into visual studios and where to add that template etc?

Thanks

You can only do this with an engine compiled from source, you can read and download necessary stuff here :  
[https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine)

If you got an 404 error, follow these instructions:

> **[Unreal Engine 4 on Github](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github)**
>
> Unreal Engine is the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D creation platform for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences.

Normally, you simply need to click to “New C++ file…” in file menu (screen here:[http://i.imgur.com/98hn7YQ.png](http://i.imgur.com/98hn7YQ.png)) to generate your visual studio workspace.

Hope this help you in your quest 🙂
