[Plugin] Leap Motion - Event Driven

[anonymous_user_0c677b81]

The current plugin found at https://.com/leapmotion/leapunreal should work both as project plugin and engine plugin as it detects it’s environment. The general way to rebuild the plugin is to include it in e.g. a ue4 C++ project under plugins and regenerating your .sln then recompiling, the plugin will recompile with it.

The same process is used for engine plugins except that you replace the plugin found under e.g.

UE_4.21/Engine/Plugins/Runtime/LeapMotion

and you copy your third party includes to

UE_4.21/Engine/Source/ThirdParty/Leap

and dlls to

UE_4.21/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/LeapMotion

I’m hoping we will have an updated leap motion plugin for 4.22 which should eliminate the engine plugin workaround, but can give no guarantees at this time.

I hope that you are not getting overwhelmed with this question but do you have any idea on when a 4.22 plugin might be available? Even a work around would be great. My team is eager to move forward with ray-tracing but we would really hate to have to go back to using controllers.
