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

python plugins/unreal/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.
