The unreal.ControlRigContextMenuContext.get_control_rig_blueprint() function has been deprecated in Unreal Engine 5.7.

As a result, the Python scripts included with the Control Rig plugin no longer work.

The affected scripts need to be updated. They can be found here:

UE5.7\Engine\Plugins\Animation\ControlRig\Content\Python\RigHierarchy\

  • add_controls_for_selected.py
  • add_null_above_selected.py
  • align_items.py
  • rename_items.py
  • set_bone_reference_pose.py

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve logged an issue here: https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-357260

Once the fix has gone in, which will most likely include adjustments to the new interface that was added, you’ll be able to integrate the change into your engine. Unfortunately, adjusting the single call will not be the only change needed so I don’t have a workaround at the moment.
