Unreal Skill (WIP)

Automate Unreal Engine 5.x with PlayUnreal style external control.

Status: WIP. PlayUnreal repo: https://github.com/Randroids-Dojo/PlayUnreal

Quick Reference

# Launch editor with Remote Control enabled
UnrealEditor "/path/MyGame.uproject" -ExecCmds="WebControl.StartServer"

# Packaged build (enable Remote Control)
MyGame.exe -RCWebControlEnable -RCWebInterfaceEnable -ExecCmds="WebControl.StartServer"

# Wait for Remote Control and ping a PlayUnreal automation actor.
# Resolve scripts/rc_wait_ready.py relative to this skill directory.
python <skill-dir>/scripts/rc_wait_ready.py \
  --host 127.0.0.1 --port 30010 \
  --object-path "/Game/Maps/Main.Main:PersistentLevel.PlayUnrealDriver_1"

Setup Checklist

Enable Remote Control and Automation Driver plugins.
Add the PlayUnrealAutomation plugin to the project.
Place the PlayUnreal driver actor or subsystem in the map.
Tag key UMG widgets with automation IDs for stable selectors.
Keep Remote Control on LAN/VPN only.

Selector Strategy

id=StartButton maps to Automation Driver By::Id.
path=#Menu//Start/<SButton> maps to By::Path.
text="Start" can be implemented via custom traversal if needed.

PlayUnreal Python (target API)

from playunreal import Unreal

async with Unreal.launch(
    uproject="MyGame.uproject",
    map="/Game/Maps/MainMenu",
    remote_control=True,
) as ue:
    page = ue.page()
    await page.locator("id=StartButton").click()
    await page.locator("id=HUDRoot").wait_for_visible()
    await page.screenshot("artifacts/started.png")

Packaged Builds

Use -RCWebControlEnable -RCWebInterfaceEnable.
Ensure presets and assets are staged if using Remote Control presets.
