Auto registry system

Auto registering system can be used in Skyreal VR to create your own custom extension system.

How to create an new extension point​

To declare a new extension point:

  • create a new extension plugin (called "SkrBaseExtensionPlugin" in this example)
  • Create a new blueprint in the extension plugin that inherits from PrimaryDataAsset (called "BP_ExtensionBaseAsset" in this example)
Create a blueprint

Inherits from PrimaryDataAsset
  • Implement interface SkrautoRegisteringAsset
Implement interface SkrautoRegisteringAsset
  • Fill method GetShouldAutoRegisterAsset with a custom boolean variable.
Implement method GetShouldAutoRegisterAsset
  • Add any variable in the blueprint that should be accessible in the extension you want's to create
Variable definition example

How to retreive all extensions DataAsset​

To retreive all the assets that extdans the PrimaryDataAsset created in the previous step (called "BP_ExtensionBaseAsset" in this example), write in a blueprint code:

  • Get the SkrRegisterySubSystem
  • If you need dynamic reloading of the exnteions, bind (an unbind) to FSkrRegisteredDataAssetsAddedEvent and FSkrRegisteredDataAssetsRemovedEvent
  • Call the method GetRegisteredDataAsset and specify the type in the base class ("BP_ExtensionBaseAsset" in this example)

How to create an extension​

To extend your own extension:

  • Create a new extension plugin (called "SkrExtensionExtensionPlugin" in this example) and add the "RegistrableAssets" directory in the plugin content.
  • Create a new DataAsset that's inherits from your PrimaryDataAsset blueprint (called "BP_ExtensionBaseAsset" in this example)
Create the data asset
  • Fill the data asset with some properties
Fill the data asset

During a Skyreal VR session, be sure to import the base extension plugin (called "SkrBaseExtensionPlugin" in this example) before the other extensions plugin (called "SkrExtensionExtensionPlugin" in this example).
