It is possible to set variables of blueprint classes from Python as shown here: Can you edit a Blueprint Variable from Python? - Editor Scripting - Unreal Engine Forums. However, it is possible to call a function that is marked as “Call in Editor”?
My specific use case is to spawn and configure a blueprint class in a level in the editor.
Once you have a reference to your Blueprint you can call one of his functions by using the method call_method(...)
Methods inherited from _ObjectBase:
call_method(…)
x.call_method(name, args=tuple(), kwargs=dict()) → object – call a method on this object via Unreal reflection using the given ordered (tuple) or named (dict) argument data - allows calling methods that don’t have Python glue
your_ref.call_method("YourFunctionName")
if inside function exist local variables it’s work wierd!
actor.call_method("Test")
It always need arguments for all local variables
actor.call_method("Test", kwargs={local_var_int': 0})
But after it ask arguments for all nodes than uses local variable!
I just print this int local variable and get this
LogPython: Error: TypeError: test() required argument 'call_func_conv_int_to_string_return_value' (pos 2) not found
But you can create new function without local variables and inside it call old function with local variables. And it work perfect!
Hello!
For future reference, here is a more complete example of how to do this, because it is not that trivial to find out exactly what to do:
