Conditions

Remote Control Preset

• If you expose a Boolean data type, you must add “_boolean” after the parameter’s name, as shown in the image above.

Engine Port

• Working in the Editor Mode requires you to change the Port number of your Host to 30020, which is the UE Remote Control WebSocket API Port.

Please keep that in mind, if Unreal Engine can't listen to the port you defined, it may crash.

• If you Play your scene in the Editor Mode, RealityHub automatically recognizes your Unreal Engine scene details and reflects your exposed parameters as UState.
