Can RCBasic be embedded for use into other applications as a scripting language? For example: UE4. 

Technically yes. RCBasic is a byte code compiler and a runtime vm written in C++.  If your engines functions can be called from C++ then you can add them but you would need to rebuild RCBasic from source to do it.

Is there example documentation for doing something like this, if not could you create some?

Just google "How to embed C++ functions in RCBasic?" and the AI overview will explain how to do it.  I just did that search and the AI results are correct.

Dude... you made the language and are using AI?

Come on now.

I don't use AI for coding. I did a google search to see if I had written some documentation on this before and got those search results. RCBasic is open source and has been constantly updated since 2016.  There is not a single line of AI code in any of my repos. For people who just discovered this project, it may look like I generated a bunch of code over night but I have been working on this for over a decade now. 

Here is my github if you want to check: https://github.com/n00b87 

BTW, I think you are being extremely rude for someone who was asking for help.

I was criticizing you using AI generated search results.

I know that the language itself was not made using AI.

I apologise for coming off as rude, it was not my intention.

I  apologize for the misunderstanding.  I see so many people on my own forum these days just post what they had Claude make for them and it makes me feel like I wasted my time writing all the tutorials and documentation I did if nobody actually cares about learning anything anymore.  However, you were right, I should not have told you to go look at the AI search results.  I made a video on how to build RCBasic from source a few months ago but I will also make a video on how to add your own functions.

Here is the video on building from source:  Building RCBasic From Source

I will post the video on adding your own functions once I upload it.

Here is the video about modifying RCBasic. You should watch the video on building it first since I don't cover that in this video.
