Editing Character.h to change BP behavior?

I don’t think this would be worth it, but if you REALLY wanted to change Character.h like you said, you’d have to download the engine sources, change Character.h, and compile your own custom engine version (which you will need to maintain manually for each new update). So yeah, you’re better off with an alternative like what’s mentioned above

Making your own branch can be worth it if you’re doing something pretty major (like making a new shading model), but it’s way too much trouble for something as small as this

Perhaps. But the alternatives mentioned arent really detailed or explanatory. I don’t really know how to go about that without some more help.
I already use the source version. I made the edit I mentioned above, changing the Capsule component to BlueprintReadWrite. I recompiled and launched the editor. The component is still read only though so that didn’t seem to do anything. I did all that before posting.

I dont mind maintaining my own branch for this project.
I’m sure this will get addressed better in the future but to stabalize what I’m trying to do now, I dont mind.
