[Plugin] Leap Motion - Event Driven

Hi ,

Thank you for making this plugin. I’m a bit new to Unreal and I’m having an issues with the leapmotion plugin. First of all in the Editor I have no issues with getting the hand data in, but none of the plugin content is visible. Changing the view options to show plugin content doesn’t change anything.

When I put the plugin in the engine installation folder Plugins directory and try to package my project the plugin doesn’t work in the executable. When I put the Plugins folder in the project folder and remove it from the engine installation folder it also won’t work. The output log doesn’t show any useful information and the package gets compiled successfully.
I also don’t see the LeapMotion plugin in the plugins list when I place the Plugins folder in my project root.

I’m using Unreal Engine 4.22 with the LeapMotion-v3.3.1-UE4.22.7z version. I think the plugin might not be working with UE 4.22.

Got any idea on how to fix this?

The general flow is to drag and drop the plugins folder from https://.com/leapmotion/LeapUnreal/releases into your project of choice. An easy way to test this is to get the modules project https://.com/leapmotion/LeapUnrealmodules/releases and drag and drop the matching plugin into it. When you launch you should have a bunch examples to play with out of the box.

If you wish to package you may need to add a basic empty c++ class to your project so that it detects your project plugin and includes it in the packaging process.

There is also a 3.0.1 version of the plugin available directly in the engine, just enable it and it should be available.
