Attaching Unreal Debugger to VS Code

[SpaceCat]

So, there doesn’t seem to be an “Attach to process” option in VS Code.

The closest thing is “Install Additional Debuggers” but none of the extensions seem to be the official UE4 Debugger. The ones that are there seem to be open source.

Has anyone tried any of these extensions?

Thanks.

You just need to create an attach launch configuration. In the Debug editor (Ctrl + Shift + D) go to the drop down menu and select add config

Then choose (Windows) attach, and that’s basically it. You can copy the visualizerFile setting from the other configs and possibly rename the config so you have something like this

After that choose that config in the drop down, start debugging and you’ll get a dialog box to choose which process to attach to and select the UE4 Editor.
