LumixEngine

Custom plugin

1. Run scripts/plugins.bat.
2. Choose Empty plugin template. This will download the plugin’s template.
3. The template is in plugins\myplugin. Rename it to whatever you want. As our example, we rename it to remote. The plugin’s name is its directory name. There is no project name to set in premake5.lua.
4. Update LUMIX_PLUGIN_ENTRY in plugins\remote\src\myplugin.cpp to match the plugin’s name:

        - LUMIX_PLUGIN_ENTRY(myplugin)
        + LUMIX_PLUGIN_ENTRY(remote)
   

   You can rename myplugin.cpp, but it does not need to match the plugin’s name.

5. Update LUMIX_STUDIO_ENTRY in plugins\remote\src\editor\plugins.cpp to match the plugin’s name:

        - LUMIX_STUDIO_ENTRY(myplugin)
        + LUMIX_STUDIO_ENTRY(remote)
   

   You can rename myplugin.cpp, but it does not need to match the plugin’s name.

6. Recreate the solution, for example run scripts\premake5.exe vs2022 from the repository root.
7. You can now build the solution with your custom plugin.
8. (Optional, recommended) The template’s source files contain other references to myplugin; update them as needed.
