Editor and Runtime versions of the same plugin/library ?

There are several ways to do it, so depends on what you need to access from engine code.

If you need to access editor classes you should not create the function in a runtime module.

UFunctions can also have a meta flag “DevelopmentOnly” to indicate to users that the node will not execute in a packaged build.

I see. I guess I’ve hit a very hard bump then.
I wanted to get the current LOD being drawn, since it looks like all the methods to get it are “broken” (namely, MeshComponent->PreviousLODLevel always returns 0).
So I managed to get the info, both InEditor and in PIE… but only if the library plugin is an Editor module. If I strip the UnrealEd reference and compile it as a Runtime lib, I lose the ability to get the LOD level during Simulation in Editor.

It bugs me, and it kinda sucks…
