Scripting Language extensions via plugins

I’m very pleased to find this thread - it might be a lifesaver for me. When I got to this bit though:

then re-generate projects and compile the engine. UBT should automatically pick this up and enable Lua integration.

I got a bit stuck. Could you tell me what to do here?

0. If you haven’t done so, you need to download the 4.3 preview engine source.

1. Got to Lua: download and download the latest source

2. Remove it from the archive (use 7zip or similar archive program) and put it in \Engine\Plugins\Script\ScriptPlugin\Source\ScriptPlugin\ in a folder called lua-5.2.3 If you do this right, in you should have a path at \Engine\Plugins\Script\ScriptPlugin\Source\ScriptPlugin\lua-5.2.3\src that contains the .c and .h source files for lua.

3. Run the GenerateProject.bat script that’s in the root folder of your engine source.

4. Rebuild the engine.

5. You should now have an engine that has Lua built-in and you can add scripts to blueprint objects in the editor.
