How to install

The best way is to clone the repo as a submodule; though you can also download pre-packaged versions.


FAB Plugin

The easiest way to install PCGEx is to get it from FAB. (it’s free!)

The FAB release matches the FAB- branches on github, due to the submission & validation process they will always be out of date compared to github’ latest.


Build from Source


Github

If building from source, make sure your project & computer is set-up for C++ dev. See Epic Documentation on the topic.


Cloning & Build using Git

> cd YourProject
> git submodule add https://github.com/Nebukam/PCGExtendedToolkit Plugins/PCGExtendedToolkit
> git add ../.gitmodules
> git commit

Install from the Source’ ZIP


Download from Github (.zip)

Alternatively you can download the ZIP of this repo and place it in YourProject/Plugins/PCGExtendedToolkit


Finding Nodes

Once the plugin is installed and compiled, nodes are available in any PCG Graph along with vanilla nodes. You can either find them in the explorer on the left, or in the list when right-clicking any empty space in the graph.

All PCGEx nodes are prefixed with PCGEx | – which is a bit annoying at first, but quickly comes in handy to ensure nodes are clearly identifiable.
