Hey Devs,
I made a new experimental open source (MIT) plugin that embeds Node.js scripts as an actor component. Currently super early, but usable so wanted to share. Will likely have some bugs this early on, if you find any, post to Issues · getnamo/nodejs-ue4 · GitHub.
You can now write any node.js script and use npm modules to solve problems. The node instance is fully embedded, no external installation required.
Main repository and documentation:
Latest release:
Basic how-to
e.g. a simple math function using the npm package *ipc-event-emitter *to listen and reply with events
//myscript.js - Let's connect our function via IPC
//One liner include
const ipc = require('ipc-event-emitter').default(process);
const euclidean = (a, b) =>{
return ((a ** 2) + (b ** 2)) ** 0.5;
}
//Listen to 'myevent' event
ipc.on('myevent', (vars) => {
let c = euclidean(vars.x, vars.y);
console.log('Got a request (a^2+b^2)^0.5: ' + c);
//emit result back as a 'result' event
ipc.emit('result', c);
});
console.log('started');
And on the blueprint side, add a node component
set your script
and bind to the event you used in your script and you can call your script function to e.g. get the Pythagorean distance of two floats
The scripts run on background threads and will not block the game thread. Messaging does callback on game thread so bound events are safe to use as usual.
That example is obviously just bare bones and not particularly useful, but you can change your script to use any NPM module (https://www.npmjs.com/) which has tons and tons of cool solutions to common programming problems.
Unreal.js is much much cooler and definitely better suited if you want to control unreal engine with javascript. This plugin instead focuses on bringing support for node.js API and full npm compatibility. You can probably use both together if you like.
NPM auto-resolving and live-reloading scripts is now supported.
Below is a novelty example testing the bandwidth of real-time communications, seems like you can easily do real-time and you’d need more than 20k messages/sec to impact the game thread without optimizations.
Hi, very good plugin.
but to solve the following error, when loading dependencies (ipc-event-emitter) I had to copy the entire Plugins/Content/Scripts directory to my [ProjectRoot]/Content/Scripts.
Is this correct? I thought I only had to indicate in Plugins/Content/Scripts/package.json the dependency to load.
Your initial thought is correct, the copying shouldn’t be necessary. Just did a test, but it appears it has memory for the last executable path and the old node instance doesn’t close always. After using the task manager to kill the stray node.js server and re-running the main script (either by restarting project or by running with bStopMainScriptOnNoListeners = true and exiting session) and then re-running again, the main script initializes correctly and will remain functioning as long as you don’t move the folder. At that point it will pull the correct dependency folder instead of a different old path.
Made some small changes which should fix the lack of node instance stop on exit (issue 9). Not sure if issue 8 has been fixed though. Made a simple test project release with the updated plugin here: Release Early Test v0.4.2 for UE 4.23 with Example Project · getnamo/nodejs-ue4 · GitHub Check out the NodeJSExampleProject-v0.4.2.7z release which should be a drag and droppable project with two maps, one for simple.js and another for adder.js. Adder.js should test the auto-resolve dependencies. Let me know if that version works for you.
Only by playing AdderTestMap, the process imports the necessary modules and creates the node_modules folder.
But the following error appears, even killing the nodejs processes created.:

You can try to endplay/begin play a few times after pressing F to see if you get the adding blueprint to print out the default 5.0 value result. The javascript server does quit every time for me too. Regardless, something still appears broken TBC, might need to find other machines to test it on.
Hi, the last update for (nodejs-ue4-0.4.2) and (socketio-client-v1.2.0-UE4.23) works fine and now also works in StandAloneGame, NewEditorWindow (PIE) and VRPreview.
But when I pack the game, I don’t get these plugins to be packed too and therefore my tools don’t work. I have to specify in the *.uplugin that are installed:
"Installed": true,
However it also throws the following error when launching the packaged game:
Great that the 0.4.2 update worked for you. Regarding packaging, I haven’t had time to address it yet, issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/getnamo/nodejs-ue4/issues/6. Largely I assume we just need to copy the thirdparty folder to the packaged build in the right location and it will work. TBC
I got the following error when packaging the project for Windows.
I hope you find it useful, and if there is any correction soon.
I am using binary ue4. Not the code version.

If I deactivate that the plugins are installed then it cooks well. But then the plugins folder is not inside the cooked one.

It is good to know that it can already be used in the UE4.24.
But I tried the sample project, and when packaged, the Node component does not work, and the necessary third-party folders are not packaged:

Hey, Great plug-in. just installed it and got running my scripts straight away so thank you for releasing it!
Now, this is probably a silly question but is there any way you could run a ‘script.js’ from the editor. ie from an editor utility widget etc and not rely on runtime?
Interesting use case request. While I didn’t personally think of using the plugin this way, it could be enabled by writing a new wrapper with editor context. I made a github issue for this here: Run in Editor context · Issue #25 · getnamo/nodejs-ue4 · GitHub. If you come up with specific UX patterns you would want, it would better guide how to add this feature. Keep in mind this issue may take a while to schedule for me (code contributions welcome!).
TBC, might need to find other machines to test it on.
