extension of unreal script with c++?

[otomo]

Hi,

For an university-project I am evaluating the unreal engine and unreal script.

My question is:

Is is possible to extend the unreal script by using external c++ functions? Say we got a webcam, and the cam monitors a room. A Person enters a room, which triggers an event.

This is all in c++.

Would it be possible, to get this event into unreal script? Or is the unreal script api all I may use?

Help on this question would be much appreciated.

hmm, now that i found out, that using c++ within unreal script is only possible in unreal 99, i thought it might be possible to have a c++ application, which triggers the event and simulates a keyPressed-event.

Within Unreal I could catch this key-event. I guess binding specific actions to specific keys is a thing, which should be possible, or not?

Any opinions on that?

you could also use an tcp or udp socket.

yes, thanks for the tip with the sockets.

There are no headers for the runtime either, are there?

These may be them. But.

The most recent version of the UE2 Runtime Headers is below. Note that the UE2 Runtime Headers are only available to commercial licensees who have a signed NDA on file.
