Sample code for the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine.

arcgis-maps-sdk-unreal-engine-samples

Here is an Unreal Engine 5 project containing a set of samples showing you how to accomplish various things using the combined features of Unreal Engine 5 and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine.

Features

• Feature Layer - Query objects from a feature layer and show them on the map in Unreal Engine.
• Line of sight - See how to check the line of sight between two objects.
• Routing - Show a route between two points on a map using Esri's routing service REST API.
• Third Person Character Controller - See how to run around a virtual city in Unreal Engine.

Instructions

1. Clone this repo. Note On Windows there is a 260 character limit in your file path. The ArcGISMapsSDK for Unreal Engine Plugin is ~160 characters at the longest point. This samples repo by default adds arcgis-maps-sdk-unreal-engine-samples\sample_project for a total of ~215 characters. You can use git clone <git_repo_url> <your_custom_directory_name> to remove the lengthy arcgis-maps-sdk-unreal-engine-samples to give you more freedom for where it can be cloned.
2. Refer to the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine's documentation on getting started on how to download Unreal Engine 5 and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine.
3. Launch the Unreal Engine project. Note if you are prompted that there is a version mismatch that can be ignored, but if the project needs to be re-compiled you will need to launch it thru Visual Studio.
4. Import the Plugin into this project.
5. Launch the SampleViewer level. You will be prompted to enter an API Key for the samples to work. To avoid entering it each time you push play you can enter it in the SampleViewer level blueprint.
