I. Setting up a new project for use with the SteamVR Input Plugin

If you are not adding the plugin to an existing project, create a new Blueprint project using the Virtual Reality template. Starter content is not necessary.

For Blueprint projects to use the plugin directly from GitHub, you need to convert it to a C++ project. To convert it:

• Select to File -> New C++ Class
• In the Choose Parent Class dialog, choose Game Mode Base
• Give the class a name and click Create. The engine will compile the code and open the solution in Visual Studio
• Close Visual Studio and the Unreal Editor
• Add the SteamVR Input plugin using the steps below

I. How to add this plugin to your UE4 Project

1. Download the SteamVR Input plugin from GitHub

   • Go to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unreal_plugin
   • Click the "Clone or download" and select Download Zip

2. In your project's root directory, create a new folder if it doesn't exist: Plugins

3. Unzip the downloaded file directly to the new Plugins folder. There should now be a folder called steamvr_unreal_plugin-master; you can rename this if you'd like.

4. In the root folder of your project, right-click on your .uproject file and select "Generate Visual Studio project files" (this requires the Epic Launcher to be installed on your machine)

5. Finally, double-click the *.uproject file at the root of your project to compile and open the project. If you are prompted to rebuild any files select yes

Reminder: You need to update submodules separately from your regular Fetch/Pulls of your project to update the plugin.
