Custom Bluprint nodes with C++ function code in-editor :-o

No, just need to have it installed so Unreal can use HotReload with C++ Compiler… The project must be a C++ project, but I don’t keep Visual Studio open at all.

That’s just great!

I don’t think this is a replacement to Visual Studio.
However some times I just want to make some foreach loops or write my functions instead of dragging wires around, but I don’t want to wait for VS to launch either. I just want to write the function and see it there in the graph on the exact place where it’s called without wasting time on extra steps such as creating function library classes.
Blueprints are great, but sometimes just typing on a keyboard to create a function is simply faster than connecting wires to nodes…
“Less time waiting for things to happen!”, this is why I’m making this, I need to reduce time spent on the overall “coding” workflow, “less rocks on the way”

I don’t have much experience with VS (I hated it since the first time I tried to use it) but from your gifs, we could do most of the stuff without opening VS at all using this. this is more useful than just clearing some rocks. Because it allows to use all the functions unavailable to BP in BP.

• I would need written permission. Some pieces of this plugin I wrote on my workplace which makes the company legally owner of this tool; they would have to allow me to make it public.

Wow, that is some hardcore law abiding

…* And I believe EpicGames has in the EULA something saying we can’t sell scripting/coding systems for Unreal, it must be shared for free

Huh, didn’t know about that.

…* I don’t have a lot of time to create documentation, tutorials, etc, besides a few example nodes. This could become a problem if I make it public…

…* And finally, there’s the fact this isn’t complete yet, right now it’s more like something in “alpha” state.

Well, no pressure… we can wait hehe
