a couple of Blueprint requests

General Feedback & Requests

  1. Ability to Disable nodes/components

  2. Easier to Add/Remove a Component that is between 2 others.
    Example of how it currently works :



Component A -----------> Component B

// then i add print() :
Component A ----> Print("Found") ---> Component B

// remove print() :
Component A >                                       >Component B

Perhaps holding Ctrl or something while deleting the Component will automatically Connect the components either side of that

edit #1
3. PrintString() - if it be possible to make this print multiple strings so something like this :

(I apologise for poor design :smiley: )
Rather than having to create lots of “append string” for when i may want to print some slightly complex debug string, ie
Object touched Object at Location
in code :



PrintString(object + " touched " + object + " at " + hitLocation);

in blueprint id have to create multiple “append strings”

edit #2
4. reverse arrays or, ForEachLoop in reverse
if this is already possible or if someone has created something similar as a macro, I would love to see it
but do feel this could be implemented into the array node like “Filter” etc…

(i may add more to this…) :slight_smile:

+1 to both, the inability to disable nodes leads to extra work for nodes that have many links coming in, think of a case where you want to remove the node for just one single run/debugging and have to plug every single node back one by one afterwards. Happens to me a fair bit.

3

One work around would be to use a custom event. Many nodes can call the custom event but you only need to delink the event to stop it.

Thanks! That’s a good idea and probably what I’ll do. This should keep the graph neater too.

5

that is a large “work around”
when really it be better to right click and say “disable”

6

Maybe use that on on string pin
