C++

EOSCore was primarily made with Blueprints in mind and is not convenient to use in a C++ environment, there is also no benefit to using EOSCore in a C++ environment compared to Blueprints, however it is totally doable.

This example will show you a basic implementation and how to get started but also note that if you decide to use EOSCore in C++ you will be on your own. If you are having issues compiling your C++ project then you will have to solve the issues on your own. One of the reason for this is C++ is extremely compicated and complex and not what the plugin is advertised or even suggested to be used with.

With that out of the way, let’s get started!

Project.Build.cs

Open up your projects \Source\Project\Project.Build.cs file and add ”EOSCore” as a module dependency. Here is an example of what a Build.cs file can look like that incudes the EOSCore module

Project.Build.cs Example

using UnrealBuildTool;

public class SteamCPP : ModuleRules
{
   public SteamCPP(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
   {
      PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;
   
      PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "SteamCore" });
   }
}

PlayerController

We’re going to setup a basic test function that will attempt to Login using the EOS Connect Interface, here is an example of the Header and Source files:

PlayerController.h

#pragma once

#include "CoreMinimal.h"

#include "Connect/EOSConnectTypes.h"
#include "GameFramework/PlayerController.h"
#include "BaseController.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class ABaseController : public APlayerController
{
    GENERATED_BODY()

public:
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "EOS TEST")
    void MyTestFunction();

public:
    UFUNCTION()
    void OnLoginCallback(const FEOSConnectLoginCallbackInfo& Data);

public:
    FOnLoginCallback m_OnLoginCallback;
};

PlayerController.cpp

#include "BaseController.h"

#include "Connect/EOSConnect.h"

void ABaseController::MyTestFunction()
{
    if (UCoreConnect* Connect = GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UCoreConnect>())
    {
        m_OnLoginCallback.BindUFunction(this, "OnLoginCallback");
        
        FEOSConnectLoginOptions Options;
        Options.UserLoginInfo.DisplayName = "Test";
        Options.Credentials.Type = EEOSEExternalCredentialType::EOS_ECT_DEVICEID_ACCESS_TOKEN;

        Connect->EOSConnectLogin(this, Options, m_OnLoginCallback);
    }
}

void ABaseController::OnLoginCallback(const FEOSConnectLoginCallbackInfo& Data)
{
    if (Data.ResultCode == EOSResult::EOS_Success)
    {
        // Login successful
    }
    else
    {
        // Login failed
    }
}

Now it’s simply a matter of calling the test function from Blueprints
