on linux how to compile it from source ?

[Kyridiculous2]

i use the ue4a automation tool then get a error like this UnrealBuildTool: ERROR: Couldn't find module rules file for module 'ApexDestruction'.

[Zectbumo]

This could be the same problem as #45. Activate the Apex Destruction plugin.

Could you kindly compile a Linux version of the plugin for UE4.18, or describe what would be the best way to go about doing it?

[EverNewJoy]

Make a UE4 C++ project, move the plugin to Plugins folder of your C++ project, then follow these directions:

You need to add Linux to the whitelistplatforms aray. https://github.com/EverNewJoy/VictoryPlugin/blob/4a05929b718dd14f47a0a949481ae8f7c21d2eaa/VictoryBPLibrary.uplugin#L24
