Unreal Engine 4 Scripting with C++ Cookbook

Creating a new editor module

The following recipes all interact with editor mode-specific code and engine modules. As a result, it is considered good practice to create a new module that will only be loaded when the engine is running in editor mode so that we can place all our editor-only code inside it.

How to do it…

1. Open your project's .uproject file in a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.
2. Add the bolded section of the following to the file:

   {
     "FileVersion": 3,
     "EngineAssociation": "4.11",
     "Category": "",
     "Description": "",
     "Modules": [
       {
         "Name": "UE4Cookbook",
         "Type": "Runtime",
         "LoadingPhase": "Default",
         "AdditionalDependencies": [
           "Engine",
           "CoreUObject"
         ]
       },
       {
         "Name": "UE4CookbookEditor",
         "Type": "Editor",
    "LoadingPhase": "PostEngineInit", ...
