not this doesn't work, give me another example

I apologize for the confusion. Here's another example that should work:

```cpp
#include "ISettingsModule.h"
#include "ReadyGamesNetworkSettings.h"

ISettingsModule* SettingsModule = FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<ISettingsModule>("Settings");
if (SettingsModule != nullptr)
{
    const UReadyGamesNetworkSettings* Settings = GetDefault<UReadyGamesNetworkSettings>();
    if (Settings != nullptr)
    {
        // Access the variables from the settings class
        int32 SomeVariable = Settings->SomeVariable;
        FString AnotherVariable = Settings->AnotherVariable;
        // ...
    }
}
```

Make sure to replace `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` with the actual name of your settings class, and update `SomeVariable` and `AnotherVariable` with the variable names you want to access in runtime.

variables in Settings have incorrrect values, are you sure the code is working?

I apologize for the inconvenience. If the variables in your settings class have incorrect values, it's possible that the default values are not being set correctly.

In your `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class, make sure you have set the default values for your variables using `UPROPERTY` macro. For example:

```cpp
UPROPERTY(config, EditAnywhere, Category = "MySettings")
int32 SomeVariable = 0;

UPROPERTY(config, EditAnywhere, Category = "MySettings")
FString AnotherVariable = "Default value";
```

If the default values are set correctly, you should be able to access them using the code I provided earlier.

If the values are still incorrect, please double-check your settings class and ensure that the default values are properly set.

how cast TEnumAsByte<MyEnum> where MyEnum is UEnum to c++ enum 

To cast a `TEnumAsByte<MyEnum>` where `MyEnum` is a `UEnum` to a C++ enum, you can use the `GetValue()` function of the `TEnumAsByte` class. Here's an example:

```cpp
UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class MyCppEnum : uint8
{
    Value1,
    Value2,
    Value3
};

UEnum* MyEnumPtr = Cast<UEnum>(StaticFindObject(UEnum::StaticClass(), ANY_PACKAGE, TEXT("MyEnumName")));

if (MyEnumPtr)
{
    TEnumAsByte<MyEnum> MyEnumValue;
    MyEnumValue = SomeFunctionToGetEnumValue(); // Assuming you have a method to get the enum value

    MyCppEnum EnumValue = static_cast<MyCppEnum>(MyEnumValue.GetValue());
    
    // Now you can use the C++ enum value
}
```

Replace `MyEnumName` with the actual name of your `UEnum` in the `StaticFindObject` function. Make sure to update `MyCppEnum` with the name of your C++ enum.

Note: Casting from a `UEnum` to a C++ enum may result in data loss if the enum values don't match exactly. Make sure to handle such cases appropriately in your code.

how to use ISettingsModule without adding dependency to editor?

Unfortunately, the `ISettingsModule` interface is part of the Unreal Editor module and cannot be used without adding a dependency on the editor. The `ISettingsModule` is designed to be used within the editor context for managing project settings.

If you need to use settings functionality in a non-editor context, you may need to implement your own custom settings management system or find an alternative approach that does not rely on the `ISettingsModule`. This could involve using configuration files, data assets, or other means of storing and retrieving settings data.

Alternatively, you can consider creating a separate module specifically for your plugin's runtime functionality that does not have a dependency on the editor module. This way, you can structure your code in a way that isolates any editor-related dependencies from the runtime portion of your plugin.

but then how can i get variables from settings for my plugin at runtime

To access settings variables for your plugin at runtime, you can create a separate configuration file or data asset to store the settings data. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

1. Create a new configuration class or data asset to store the plugin settings. For example, create a new `UDataAsset` subclass called `UPluginSettingsDataAsset`. Add properties to this class to represent the settings variables you want to access at runtime.

```cpp
UCLASS()
class YOURPLUGIN_API UPluginSettingsDataAsset : public UDataAsset
{
    GENERATED_BODY()

public:
    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Plugin Settings")
    int32 SomeVariable;

    UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Plugin Settings")
    FString AnotherVariable;
};
```

2. Create an instance of your settings class and populate it with the desired values. This can be done during the plugin initialization or at runtime based on your requirements.

```cpp
UPluginSettingsDataAsset* PluginSettings = NewObject<UPluginSettingsDataAsset>();

// Set the values of the settings variables
PluginSettings->SomeVariable = 100;
PluginSettings->AnotherVariable = "Hello World!";
```

3. Access the settings variables at runtime by retrieving the instance of the data asset and accessing its properties.

```cpp
// Access settings variables at runtime
int32 SomeVariableValue = PluginSettings->SomeVariable;
FString AnotherVariableValue = PluginSettings->AnotherVariable;
```

By using a separate configuration file or data asset to store the settings, you can access the variables at runtime without relying on the `ISettingsModule` or adding a dependency on the editor.

I WANT TO USE PLUGIN CONFIGURATION, NOT JUST ANY OTHER CONFIG

I apologize for the misunderstanding. If you want to use plugin-specific configuration for your settings, you can achieve that by using Unreal's `IPluginManager` and `FPluginDescriptor` to retrieve and access your plugin's configuration.

Here's an example of how you can do this:

1. Include the necessary headers in your source file:

```cpp
#include "IPluginManager.h"
#include "IPlugin.h"
```

2. Retrieve the plugin configuration, access the settings, and cast it to your specific settings class:

```cpp
// Get the plugin manager
IPluginManager& PluginManager = IPluginManager::Get();
TSharedPtr<IPlugin> Plugin = PluginManager.FindPlugin(TEXT("YourPluginName"));

if (Plugin.IsValid())
{
    // Retrieve the plugin descriptor
    FPluginDescriptor Descriptor = Plugin->GetDescriptor();

    // Access the plugin settings
    const TSharedPtr<FJsonObject> PluginSettings = Descriptor.PluginsSettings;

    // Access the specific settings object for your plugin
    UYourPluginSettings* YourPluginSettings = GetMutableDefault<UYourPluginSettings>();

    if (YourPluginSettings != nullptr)
    {
        // Deserialize the settings from the JSON object
        YourPluginSettings->DeserializeSettings(PluginSettings);
        
        // Access the settings variables at runtime
        int32 SomeVariableValue = YourPluginSettings->SomeVariable;
        FString AnotherVariableValue = YourPluginSettings->AnotherVariable;
    }
}
```

In this example, replace `YourPluginName` with the actual name of your plugin. Also, make sure you have registered your settings class as a plugin configuration class using the `IPlugin::SetCustomPluginConfigClass` function in the `StartupModule` of your plugin.

By using the `IPluginManager` and `FPluginDescriptor`, you can retrieve your plugin's configuration and access the settings variables at runtime.

how to fix this error

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error	LNK2019	unresolved external symbol "private: static class UClass * __cdecl UReadyGamesNetworkSettings::GetPrivateStaticClass(void)" (?GetPrivateStaticClass@UReadyGamesNetworkSettings@@CAPEAVUClass@@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual void __cdecl FReadyGamesNetworkEditorModule::StartupModule(void)" (?StartupModule@FReadyGamesNetworkEditorModule@@UEAAXXZ)	rgn_unreal	D:\Work\ReadyMakers\rgn_unreal\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\Module.ReadyGamesNetworkEditor.cpp.obj	1	

The error you're encountering suggests that the linker is unable to find the definition of the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings::GetPrivateStaticClass` function. This typically occurs when the implementation for that function is missing or not properly linked.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Ensure that you have implemented the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function in your `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class. The implementation should look like this:

```cpp
class UClass* UReadyGamesNetworkSettings::GetPrivateStaticClass()
{
    return UReadyGamesNetworkSettings::StaticClass();
}
```

2. Confirm that the source file containing the implementation of `GetPrivateStaticClass` is part of the compilation process. If the definition is in a different source file than the one where you encountered the linker error, make sure that the source file is included in your build settings.

   For Visual Studio, right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer, choose Properties, go to Configuration Properties > Linker > Input, and add the missing source file to the Additional Dependencies field.

   For Unreal Build Tool (UBT) command-line builds, ensure that the source file is listed in the `.Target.cs` file of your plugin's module.

3. Rebuild your project to ensure that the linker picks up the updated implementation of `GetPrivateStaticClass`.

By implementing the missing function and ensuring that the necessary source files are being compiled and linked, the linker error should be resolved.

GetPrivateStaticClass member could be available in other module?

Yes, the `GetPrivateStaticClass` member function should be available in the same module as the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class.

If you're encountering the linker error and the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function is defined in a different module, you need to ensure that the module containing the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class has the required dependency on the module where the function is implemented.

To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

1. In your plugin's `.Build.cs` file, make sure to add a dependency to the module containing the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function. For example:

```cpp
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "YourOtherModule" });
```

Replace `"YourOtherModule"` with the name of the module where the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function is implemented.

2. Rebuild your project to ensure that the linkage between the modules is established correctly.

By adding the appropriate dependency in your plugin's build configuration, the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function should be accessible from the module where the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class is defined, resolving the linker error.

I have settings class in module named ReadyGamesNetwork, i have another module named ReadyGamesNetwork where i want to use the class
But when i try build i getting error: unresolved external symbol “private: static class UClass * __cdecl UReadyGamesNetworkSettings::GetPrivateStaticClass(void)” (?GetPrivateStaticClass@UReadyGamesNetworkSettings@@CAPEAVUClass@@XZ) referenced in function “public: virtual void __cdecl FReadyGamesNetworkEditorModule::StartupModule(void)”

To resolve the linker error, you need to ensure that the module where the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class is defined has a proper dependency on the module where the `FReadyGamesNetworkEditorModule` class is used.

In your scenario, where the settings class is in the "ReadyGamesNetwork" module and the error is occurring in the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module, you should follow these steps:

1. Open your plugin's `.Build.cs` file (usually located in the "Source" folder of your plugin).

2. In the `.Build.cs` file of the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module, add the dependency on the "ReadyGamesNetwork" module:

```cpp
PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "ReadyGamesNetwork" });
```

3. Rebuild your project to ensure that the linkage between the modules is established correctly.

By adding the dependency on the "ReadyGamesNetwork" module in the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module's `.Build.cs` file, the linker error should be resolved, and the `GetPrivateStaticClass` function should be accessible.

i added dependency but it didn't helped

If adding the dependency in the `.Build.cs` file of the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module didn't resolve the linker error, there might be some other issues causing the problem. Here are a few potential solutions you can try:

1. Verify that the dependencies are correctly specified:

   a. In the `.Build.cs` file of the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module, make sure that the module name is listed correctly in the `PrivateDependencyModuleNames` or `PublicDependencyModuleNames`. It should match the module name exactly, including proper capitalization.

   b. Double-check that you saved the `.Build.cs` file and rebuilt the project after adding the dependency.

2. Check the module loading order:

   Ensure that the "ReadyGamesNetwork" module is loaded before the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module. In your plugin's `.uplugin` file, make sure the "ReadyGamesNetwork" module is listed above the "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor" module in the `Modules` section.

   For example:

   ```json
   "Modules": [
       {
           "Name": "ReadyGamesNetwork",
           "Type": "Runtime",
           "LoadingPhase": "Default"
       },
       {
           "Name": "ReadyGamesNetworkEditor",
           "Type": "Editor",
           "LoadingPhase": "Default"
       }
   ],
   ```

3. Clean and rebuild the project:

   Sometimes, linker errors can occur due to stale build artifacts or intermediate files. Try cleaning the project and rebuilding from scratch to ensure a clean build.

4. Ensure the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class is exported:

   In the header file of the `UReadyGamesNetworkSettings` class, make sure you have specified the correct module export macros. For example:

   ```cpp
   class READYGAMESNETWORK_API UReadyGamesNetworkSettings : public UObject
   {
       // Class definition...
   };
   ```

   Replace "READYGAMESNETWORK_API" with the appropriate export macro for your module.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, please provide more details about your project's structure, the exact steps you followed for setting up the modules, and any additional error messages or warnings you encounter.
