I want to create a game in Unity or UE4 which allows the user to write scripts in Python and run them mainly to control the AI. I will have to find a way to enable runtime script execution first. After searching the internet i was able to find some ways that may work.
What i cant find an answer for is how to limit the parts of engine and game code the user has access to so that the player doesnt feel like he's playing it in God mode.
And the main question is that even if i am able to restrict access to the 'API'API will it violate the terms of agreement for these commercial engines because the player will get access to the underlying engine and will be manipulating objects within it. I don't intend to make a moddable game just a game that requires you to write some code but that would be an extreme case to think about.

Would creating a player scriptable game using Unreal Engine or Unity violate their license agreement?
