Select which Unreal Engine instance to connect to

Hey,

I started a similar plugin some time ago. yours is much more complete than mine. If you want to get rid of the python part for the communication, I ported their code to TS here https://github.com/francoisgfx/remote_execution.ts

cheers,

Hi,

Nice, I did something similar with https://github.com/nils-soderman/vscode-unreal-python/blob/main/src/modules/remote-execution.ts

The python scripts you'll find in this repo are just small scripts that needs to run in the editor for various reasons.

Cheers,
Nils

It would be nice to be able to select the UE instance. The original implementation let you do that.

oh, cool, yeah that's definitely something I could look into!
Thanks for letting me know!

With the latest release 1.0.0 you can now use the command ue-python.selectInstance to select which UE instance to connect to.
Alternatively the command can be executed by clicking the status bar item showing the currently connected instance.

Thank you @francoisgfx for this feedback!
