Third-party communication library bridging method and system adaptive to unreal engine application

Abstract

The invention discloses a third-party communication library bridging method and system adaptive to an unreal engine application. The method comprises the following steps: S1, configuring a communication plug-in for an unreal engine application needing communication; s2, configuring a communication transfer module between the unreal engine application and the external application, wherein the communication transfer module comprises a first communication component, a second communication component, a first forwarding service and a second forwarding service; s3, if the external application needs to transmit data, calling the first forwarding service, and transmitting the first forwarding service to the unreal engine application through the second communication component; and S4, if the unreal engine application needs to transmit data, calling a second forwarding service, and transmitting the data to the external application through the first communication component. According to the method, communication between the application developed based on the unreal engine and the external node can be rapidly, compatibly and conveniently achieved, and various compiling problems caused by tedious configuration, version selection of a third-party library, targeted adaptive development of different library files and compiler difference are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and more specifically, to a third-party communication library bridging method and system for adapting Unreal Engine applications. Background technique [0002] Unreal Engine is a "what you see is what you get" game development platform for developers and individual developers, which provides a lot of core technical support for game developers. However, in the development process, it is inevitable that the application project developed based on Unreal Engine needs to exchange data with external limited communication protocol nodes. There are usually two solutions to this problem. One is to use the third-party communication protocol library as a plug-in Integrate, and import the plug-in into the project developed by Unreal Engine; second, directly locate the header file of the third-party communication protocol library in the project-related configuration file, and link the library...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When configuring according to the above two methods, since the bottom layer of Unreal Engine is mainly developed based on two programming languages, C++ and C#, developers need to be familiar with both languages ​​and switch freely, which increases the difficulty of development, and It is easy to cause various compilation errors; also because Unreal Engine has its own technical system, the differences in compilers, compilation configurations, data types, etc., often cause various conflicts when linking third-party libraries, and developers need to try to find the right one. third-party library version or modify and adapt its source code, this process will undoubtedly increase the development time consumption
