UE4: LeapMotionController Failed to load because module could not be found

[adrianhchan]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the official UE4 plugin and while everything works great in the development environment, when i try to package my game and run it, I get an error message that reads:
"Plugin 'LeapMotionController' failed to load because module 'LeapMotionController' could not be found."

has anyone run in to this?

I'm using Unreal Engine 4.7.3 built in Visual Studio 2013 Community edition with the Development solution for win64 selected.

thanks in advance.
Adrian

Edit: Never mind figured it out!

Apparently whenever you get that message, you have to add an empty class to your ue4 project.

• in the ue4 editor click file > add code to project.
• then click the show all classes check box
• select Object then next
• name it whatever you want
• wait for visual studio to do its thing
• package your project
• rejoice!
