Slua-unreal is an Unreal Engine 4/5 plugin that lets developers write game logic in Lua instead of C++, with automatic export of blueprint and C++ interfaces to Lua. It supports hot-fixing code without recompilation and two-way communication between Lua, C++, and Blueprints.

Use cases

• write unreal engine game logic in lua
• hot update game code without recompiling c++
• call blueprint functions from lua scripts
• override blueprint functions with lua
• profile lua cpu usage in shipped games
• wrap c++ classes for lua scripting

When to choose

• you need fast iteration on game logic without c++ compile times
• you want to hot-fix live game code after release
• your team prefers scripting game logic in lua
• you need lua-blueprint interop in unreal engine

When to avoid

• you are not using unreal engine
• your project requires pure c++ with no scripting layer
• you need a scripting solution for a different engine like unity or godot
