Scenario Operations Console

Scenario Operations Console is a UE 5.8 C++ gameplay systems demo focused on reusable plugin integration, runtime scenario validation, operator-facing HUD feedback, and structured event reporting. The demo presents a compact console environment where the player validates a scenario, runs a short simulation sequence, acknowledges a runtime warning, and generates a completion report.

• Status: Playable operations-console demo complete
• Engine: Unreal Engine 5.8
• Language: C++
• Focus: Reusable Unreal plugins, mission / quest runtime systems, validation UI, event feeds, packaged demo workflow

CONSOLE	VALIDATION	REPORT

Demo Flow

Open the project, press Play, and complete the console sequence:

1. Approach the operations console.
2. Press E to validate the scenario contract.
3. Press E to run the simulation.
4. Press E to monitor the objective route.
5. Press E to acknowledge the runtime warning.
6. Press E to generate the completion report.
7. Press R to reset and replay the sequence.

The HUD shows the current phase, objective, validation status, warning state, event feed, and report status.

Engineering Highlights

• Reusable plugin integration: The host project imports and consumes MissionScenarioRuntime instead of keeping mission logic only in the game module.
• Structured scenario contract: The demo scenario is represented as JSON and parsed into C++ runtime state.
• Operator interaction loop: Player proximity and E input drive validation, simulation, monitoring, warning acknowledgement, and report generation.
• Runtime HUD feedback: ASOCOperationsHUD presents scenario progress, validation status, warnings, and event history during normal Play.
• Code-built demo scene: ASOCOperationsDemoActor constructs the playable console area in C++ for clear review and repeatable setup.
• Packaged-demo workflow: The project has been validated through a Windows package build for tester-friendly review.

Key Code

• SOCOperationsDemoActor.cpp: scenario contract, demo scene construction, operation steps, event feed, and report state.
• SOCOperationsPlayerController.cpp: console proximity checks and E / R interaction routing.
• SOCOperatorPawn.cpp: capsule-style player movement and camera behavior.
• SOCOperationsHUD.cpp: screen-space operations, validation, and event-feed panels.
• MissionScenarioRuntimeLibrary.cpp: JSON parsing and validation entry points.
• MissionScenarioInstance.cpp: reusable mission lifecycle and event log runtime.

How to Run

Requirements:

• Unreal Engine 5.8
• Visual Studio 2022 with C++ game development tools
• Git LFS enabled before cloning

Clone:

git lfs install
git clone https://github.com/Zoruahful/ScenarioOperationsConsole.git

Open:

ScenarioOperationsConsole.uproject

Build target:

& 'Path\To\UE_5.8\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat' ScenarioOperationsConsoleEditor Win64 Development 'Path\To\ScenarioOperationsConsole\ScenarioOperationsConsole.uproject' -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild

Then open /Game/Maps/OperationsConsole and press Play.

Scope

This repository is intentionally small. It demonstrates a standalone project consuming a reusable scenario runtime plugin, not a full game. The current implementation focuses on durable C++ systems, readable operator feedback, and a short end-to-end demo path that can be inspected in code and played in editor.
