Use this guide with Aura

Open Aura, then keep this guide beside it while you follow the steps. Aura does not receive the page text, your account, your project, or anything you typed.

Open Aura

If nothing opens, start Aura normally. The written steps still work.

Before you start

  • The Unreal project opens successfully.
  • Aura AI is installed and signed in.
  • A C++ project is required for the Aura plugin.

Plan and model funding

Connecting and local scanning are local operations. The explanation request uses the selected model funding source.

Say this in ordinary language

Explain the player's main gameplay loop in this project. Do not change anything.

Steps

What Aura may change

Aura installs/connects its project plugin and indexes supported local context.

How to verify it worked

Aura identifies the Unreal project and its explanation matches the real gameplay implementation.

Undo or recover

Disconnect the project and reject any proposed action.

Common problems

  • Select the folder containing the .uproject file.
  • If the plugin cannot compile, add a C++ class and rebuild the project.
