Announcement

Please stop using this extension and Microsoft's C++ extension for Unreal code completion.

clangd

The VSCode extension clangd has blazing fast code completion in comparison. I've made a VSCode extension for it:

You will use clangd for code completion(Intellisense) and use Microsoft's C++ extension for Building/Debugging

FASTBuild is an open-source distributed build system, which could be a free alternative to Incredibuild. Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) does not support FASTBuild natively, however it's not hard to integrate it manually.

Integrate FASTBuild with UE4

Install FASTBuild

We assume you already have the full UE4 source code. First you'll need to grab the latest FASTBuild tools from here. We use v0.93 Windows x64 version in this tutorial. Download it and extract all the files. Here you have several choices:

Place the files under any folder which could be found with your system's PATH environment variable. To see where these folders are, run the PATH command in a command prompt window;
Place the files under the Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\FASTBuild folder of your engine. This is the recommended place;
Place the files anywhere you like. This is not recommended because you'll have to hard-code the path later.

	struct UpdateTextureRegionsParams

	UTexture2D* Texture;
	int32 MipIndex;

	#include "AnimatedImage.h"

	void UAnimatedImage::SetCurrentFrame(int32 Frame)
	{
	CurrentFrame = Frame;
	if (CurrentFrame < 0) CurrentFrame = 0;
	if (CurrentFrame > TotalFrames - 1) CurrentFrame = TotalFrames - 1;
	SynchronizeProperties();
	}

	* FAsyncQueue can be used to run asynchronous delegates in sequence, parallel and combinations of the above
	*
	* Use Add() to enqueue delegates matching FAsyncDelegate signature:
	* a void function that accepts a single argument of another void function with no arguments.
	*
	* Static factories MakeSync, MakeSequence and MakeParallel can be used to wrap different type of delegates and
	* delegate collections into a single FAsyncDelegate which can be enqueued with Add().
