Configuring the Plugin

To get the EOS working, the plugin needs to know some specific things about your EOS project.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open your Unity project with the integrated EOS Unity Plugin.

  2. In the Unity editor, Open Tools -> EOS Plugin -> Dev Portal Configuration.

    EOS Config Menu

  3. Configure the EOS Unity Plugin.

    EOS Config UI

  4. From the developer portal, copy the configuration values listed below, and paste them into the similarly named fields in the editor tool:

At this point, you are ready to start developing using the Epic Online Services Plugin for Unity! Simply attach EOSManager.cs (Script) to a Unity object and it will initialize the plugin with the specified configuration in OnAwake().

If you would like to see specific examples of various EOS features in action, import the sample Unity scenes below.


Samples

The included samples show fully functional feature implementation that will both help with EOS integration as well as validate client to dev portal configuration. After installing the samples from the UPM package, you will find scenes for each major feature.

Title Storage Screenshot

In addition, the samples include Unity friendly feature Managers that can help to quickly integrate new EOS features into your title. They provide functional usage of the main feature functionality and can be a good base template.

Installing the samples

To use the samples, install them from the UPM manager.

Unity Install Samples

The samples include both usage of the EOS SDK, and convenience wrappers to make using the SDK more ergonomic in the Unity game engine. By being samples in the UPM sense, they are placed under Assets which allows modification.

Running the samples

  • Launch Unity project with the samples installed.

  • In the Unity editor, hit Play.

  • Login with a selected authentication type.

    Auth and Friends Screenshot


Authentication

Running and Configuring the EOS SDK Dev Auth Tool

  • Launch the Developer Authentication Tool

    Developer Authentication Tool Screenshot

  • Pick a port to use on the computer. 8888 is a good quick to type number that isn't usually used by a process.

  • Log in with one's user credentials that are registered with Epic.

  • Pick a username. This username will be used in the sample to log in.

More specific and up-to-date instructions can also be found on Epic's website.
