Dear Community,
Newest Awesome
(In Complimentary (no cost) Victory Plugin!)
Now You Can Get the Text Output (STDOUT or STDERR) from any .exe program, straight into Unreal Engine!
is the output of 
a video compression commandline tool (Handbrake), launched by your UE game & delivered straight into the Unreal Engine Viewport!
Using only 3 Blueprints nodes!
MIT Software License for The Victory Plugin ~ License
I’ve decided to create my own **C++ Blueprint Function Library **of any functions that I’ve written that think you will find useful!
A Blueprint Function Library is a set of blueprint nodes that you can access from any blueprint, any!
These are functions you can call from AnimBlueprints, Character blueprints, level blueprints, anywhere!
Because is a plugin, you dont have to do any code compiling and can use my BP nodes in a content-only project!

Update:
Blueprint Nodes Now Work in Shipping Builds
Special thanks to Lion for sending me an updated version of my plugin code that works with shipping builds!
The vertex editor mode is still there, but the BP Nodes portion is a separate module now and will compile when my nodes are included in a packaged game.
thanks Lion!

Here is a video of exactly what I am providing in these nodes, I used these nodes to make the video.

Installation
-
put the .zip contents in a folder in your main directory where your .uproject is, called “Plugins” (name most be precise)
-
open editor and go to window->plugins
-
make sure my Victory Plugin is checked off as being active
-
restart editor
-
go to a blueprint, turn off context sensitive, look up “Victory” and you should see a lot of new blueprint nodes / functions!

~~~ File IO ~~~
~ SaveStringTextToFile - Save human-readable text to a file of your choosing.
~~~ ViewPort & Mouse Cursor ~~~
The Set/Get Mouse Position nodes work directly with the player’s viewport, and do not require access to the HUD canvas.
~ Set Mouse Position - SET the mouse position to any values of your choosing!
~ Get Mouse Position - Get the current mouse position, will be consistent with results of SET Mouse Position
~ Get Center Of Viewport - Obtain the coordinates of the center of the viewport! Works in PIE as well as standalone game instances
**~~~ Traces ~~~**
**TraceData - Calculates the Start and End for a new Trace for use with any trace node of your choosing!**
**~ TraceData Get Trace Data From Character Socket ** - You pick the rotation, and only need to supply the actor (really a character, but casted internally for your convenience), and a socket name, and a trace length. Optionally you can draw the trace data as a thick 3D line so you can visualize what the actual trace will do
**~ TraceData Get TraceData From Skeletal Mesh Socket** - You pick the rotation, and only need to supply the Skeletal Mesh Component, a socket name, and a trace length. Optionally you can draw the trace data as a thick 3D line so you can visualize what the actual trace will do
~ **Trace For Character Mesh, Closest Bone ** Pass in just 3 simple variables, Trace Start, Trace End, and the Trace Owner. Get Back: Hit Location, Hit Normal, Name of Closest Bone to the impact, the location of that Bone, and the Actor/Character that was hit.
~ **Trace For Character Mesh, Closest Socket:** Pass in just 3 simple variables, Trace Start, Trace End, and the Trace Owner. Get Back: Hit Location, Hit Normal, Name of Closest Socket to the impact, the location of that Socket, and the Actor/Character that was hit.
~ **Get Character's Mesh Component ** Retrieve the Mesh component of a character, IsValid let's you know whether the return value is valid or not, so do a branch to check :)
~ **Get Bone Locations ** Returns an array of the bone locations on the Character. The Character's Mesh component must be valid for to work. Returns false if the operation could not occur.
**~~~ Closest Point to Source Point Calculation ~~~**
~ **Closest Point to Source Point :** Takes in an array of points and finds which one was closest to the source point. Returns: what the minimum distance was, as well as the vector that was closest to Source.
**~~~ Rendering ~~~**
**~ Freeze Game Render**
**~ UnFreeze Game Render**
**~ **Game Window is the Foreground window in the OS:** - works in PIE and Standalone game instances
**You can combine the above to freeze the game render whenever the game window is not the foreground in the OS !**
**~ Get Array of Currently Rendered Actors ** - Retrieve array for use with foreach loop, iterating over currently rendered actors. You can choose what interval is recent enough, I default to 0.01 seconds.
**~ Get Array of Currently NOT Rendered Actors **Detailed Info and Pics)** - Retrieve array for use with foreach loop, iterating over currently NOT rendered actors. You can choose what interval is recent enough, I default to 0.01 seconds.
**~~~ Aim Offsets ~~~**
**~ Aim Offsets, For Use With Blend Spaces in probable range of -90,90 to 90,90**
**~ GetAimOffsets** - Original Inspiration for BP Library, is a Blueprint version of the same core c++ code as Shootergame uses. With function you can create a blendspace using 9 animations for the nine directions to create an equivalent of the UE3 Aim Node. You plug the results of function straight into your Aim Blendspace. See Shootergame example for exact details.
**~ GetAimOffsetsFromRotation** - Instead of assuming you want to get the character's aim based on the controller, you can use version to supply the rotation in world space that you want the character to aim to.
**~~~ 3D Drawing ~~~**
**~ Drawing 3D Lines of Chosen Thickness**
**~ Thick3DLineBetweenActors** - Draw a 3D line of your chosen thickness and duration between two Actors! You can use the BP color pick to pick line color!
**~ Thick3DLineFromCharacterSocket** - Draw a 3D line of your chosen thickness and duration from a specified Character Mesh Socket to your chosen destination. You can use the BP color pick to pick line color!
**~ Thick3DLineFromSocket** - Same as above, but you can use any mesh of your choosing.
**~~~ Misc ~~**
**~ Get /Actor Name As String ** - Get the name of any actor, component, or anything at , as a String.
**Identify whether game logic is running in Editor,PIE,or Game World!**
**~ Set Scene Component Mobility
**Convenience**
**~ GetControllerRotation** - Get the Character's controller's rotation, fast way to get PlayerController or AIController rotation!
**Conversions**
**~ RotatorToVector
~ VectorToRotator**
**~~~ Misc 2: Colors and Math ~~~**
~ **Change Hue **
~ **Change Saturation **
~ **Get Float As String With Precision** - Get a float as a string with your chosen precision, the re-precisioned float is rounded appropriately. Enjoy!
~ **GetSocketLocalTransform** - Accessor to c++ function for your convenience, enjoy
**~~~ My Fully Toggle-able Ragdoll Physics System ~~~**
**Below is the entire graph using my nodes to toggle ragdoll physics mode with the press of a button, while also causing the camera to stay up to date with the position of the ragdoll as it flies around!**
See video above!
~ **Initialize Victory Rag Doll** - you need to have two variables in your blueprint to store the output of node. Note that you only call node ONCE. If you call while character is in ragdoll it will not work correctly :) So I call at game start with EventReceiveBeginPlay. The output is in relative Character space, not world space so once it is obtained once it is always correct.
~ **Is In Rag Doll** - Very useful for creating a Rag doll toggle system :)
~ **Enter Rag Doll** - The supplied actor is converted to a Character for your convenience, returns false if operation could not occur. Checks whether the character has a physics asset for you.
~ **Leave Rag Doll** - Here is where you use the output from Initialize Victory Rag Doll to restore the character to proper orientation. part took me a while to figure out!
~ **Update Character Camera** - My gift to you, causes the camera to stay up to date with the ragdoll as it moves around, but does so SMOOTHLY. Took me a while to get just right. You can adjust the interpolation speed / how fast the camera keeps up with the ragdoll. The offset determines how high above the ragdoll the camera tries to stay.
