Strange, I can only find it by searching. Can’t just see it in the list, under general…

Thanks :smiley:

Hi, I love Blueprint Assist! It’s enabled on every project for me so thanks for making such an excellent product. I would be lost without it

I noticed a bug/conflict with Node Graph Assist plugin when using the shortcut Alt+V with Blueprint Assist also enabled.
By default this shortcut isn’t mapped in Blueprint Assist but for some reason pressing Alt+V triggers “disconnect execution on selected node” (displays Alt+D as shortcut)

Because of this bug I cant “dupe with inputs” (alt+v on node graph assist). Disabling the shortcut in Blueprint Assist fixes the issue - see attached.

I double checked all my mappings and couldnt find anything in BPAssist set to ALT+V

Hi @RonanMahonArt, had a look at this. NGA plugin is doing some funky stuff to get their logic working. In their code, they are sending to the engine an EKeys::D key press when you press Alt + V (see function NGAInputProcessor::DupliNodeWithWire).

This kind of breaks anything that would be bound to Alt + D, like the case here. I don’t see an easy fix for this aside from rebinding the disconnect command to some other hotkey.

Thanks @fpwong for your response.
I’ll link them to your post to look into it. In the mean time I’ve rebound it to another unused key as a work around. Thanks again for the awesome plugin, I left a review on the store about my experiences with blueprint assist :star::star::star::star::star:

Hello, there is an issue when using the comment plugin with the assist plugin, if I highlight a bunch of nodes in an existing comment box and then hit the plus to make sure all the nodes are added, then hit F to format, it wont work, i have to deselect then reselect all the nodes again. When there arent a lot it is no big deal but on large graphs that extend off the screen it can slow things down a lot.

Hi @object22, thanks for letting me know. I am not immediately seeing any issues when testing on my side.

A few questions:

  1. Is the issue that the formatting is not working or the comments resizing not working? …or both?

  2. What resizing mode are you on for the AutoSizeComments plugin (if you haven’t changed it, it will be on Always)

After selecting nodes and pressing the + button in the bottom left to add those nodes to the existing comment box, if you then immediately hit F, F will not do any formatting whatsoever, but if you deselect all the nodes then reselect them THEN hit F, then F will format the nodes as it normally does. Hope this answers your question. There are no issues with the comments but yes it is using Always. Just let me know if you need any more information :slight_smile:

Ah I understand what you mean now. I think it is related to losing focus on the graph after you click the plus button. The graph needs to be focused for certain plugin commands to run.

Helpful tip: you don’t need to select all the nodes to format. It will automatically find the root node within a node set (usually the custom event), so you only need to select one node to format the entire set.

Would it be possible to code it where when you hit the plus sign after adding those nodes to the comment box it does an automatic deselect then reselect of the selected nodes? if so that may fix the issue.

I have fixed this issue now, it will be included in the next update. There are some other things I want to include in there as well so hopefully won’t be too long.

Is there an option to make auto format avoid putting nodes on top of wires?

@7Dev Currently this is not possible, I am unable to get the points of the wires being drawn.

While I could try to duplicate the logic which draws the inbuilt wires to get the points of the line. I don’t think this would be allowed for external plugins like eletronic nodes.

Hello again, if you have a comment nested inside a comment and select the inner comment and click to remove it from the outer comment, it wont remove unless you also select all the nodes within the comment. Is there a way to possibly add the functionality where only the comment box needs to be selected? You can see in the video I move the inner comment to show it is actively nested in the outer comment, then with the inner comment selected I click remove but it still remains nested. Also, is there a way to prevent comment boxes from overlapping when applying blueprint formatting with blueprint assist?

@object22 Hi, this seems like a good improvement. To be honest I rarely use the controls in the bottom left so I haven’t revisited them in a long time. In most cases I find it easier to ALT + drag to move nodes in / out from comment nodes.

As for the overlapping comments, you can check if the setting “Apply Comment Padding” is enabled (by default it should be). This can be found in the toolbar item or the Editor Preferences.

If this is still happening while this setting is on, please post any examples.

this was ruining my life for months LOL…cant find the option in plugin settings to get rid of that ‘better wiring’ feature’ as definitively is not better.

So it’s working for you now?

I cant find the option ‘disable better connection or something like that’
Everytime I try to extract some output node it disconects the execution pint and inserts in the middle…I dont like this change but I never figured how to get rid of it. You asked a time ago and tried the reponse but cant find that.

this is legacy correct behavior

now is like this!

It’s called this now
