Editor Plugin - Access hot reload

[Antoine.YVAN]

Hello !

I wanted to say first that I am really glad for this hot reload feature, it really helps our editor plugins' development.

I was wondering if there is a way to access the editor's hot reload functionality in an editor plugin. 

My need is when a certain event occurs, I want to: 

• Unload a plugin
• Do something (external to Unigine)
• Reload the plugin.

Is it possible ?

I did not find anything on the documentation (feature is quite new too so I guess that is why).

 

Thanks,

Antoine

Hello,

It's possible, please look at pseudo code:

Unigine::Vector<Editor::PluginInfo *> plugin_infos = Editor::PluginManager::plugins();
// choose your `PluginInfo*`:
Editor::PluginInfo *required_plugin_info = ..;
// Unload a plugin:
bool unloaded = Editor::PluginManager::unloadPlugin(required_plugin_info);
// Do something
// ...
// Reload the plugin
bool loaded = Editor::PluginManager::loadPlugin(required_plugin_info);

Please, note, you are not able to unload a plugin from the same plugin.
