What is a UC file?
A UC file contains individual class definitions written in UnrealScript, a programming language for creating gameplay elements, game logic, and other interactive components in Epic Games Unreal Engine projects. UC files define a specific character, weapon, or environment feature class, detailing its properties, methods, and interactions.
More Information
Unreal Engine developers create and edit UC files to control behaviors and mechanics of game elements, allowing them to add new features or customize existing ones. The developers then compile UC files into the main .U package, which the Unreal Engine uses to manage and run all defined classes within a game.
NOTE: Epic Games phased out UnrealScript, beginning with Unreal Engine 4 (released in 2014). Version 4 introduced C++ as the primary scripting language to improve the workflow.
How to open a UC file
You can open UC files with any text editor, including Microsoft Notepad and Apple TextEdit. You can also use source code editors, such as Sublime Text and Microsoft Visual Studio Code, which support syntax highlighting that can make it easier to read and write UnrealScript.
After modifying or creating UC classes in a project, you can compile them with Epic Games Unreal Development Kit.
