Hello, does anyone know if it’s possible to extend the Class Settings menu of a “MyCustomObject” class to include a bool?
Thanks in advance
Hey @_lash
You can’t but you can add variables in “Class Defaults”
Just adding a variable in Variables.
But maybe I am missing something. Why do you want to add something in class settings?
Hello, here’s what I want to do:
I have a UFactory that allows me to create a “MyCustomObject” from the content browser.
On the ConfigureProperties, I’ve triggered an IClassViewerFilter which displays a dialog box that lets you choose between “MyCustomObject” and all the child asset blueprints of this class to be the base class of the new created asset.
I’d like to add a bool in class settings (below Generate Abstract Class for example) to choose whether or not to display this child class in the dialog box.
I hope I’ve explained things properly, so don’t hesitate to ask me if you don’t understand something.
Can you get the CDO from the that uobject and validate the value of the bool? If it is serialized you should be able to get those values correctly.
Yes, that’s what I’ve got now, and it works well. But I would like to separate it from the class variables. Also, if the parent has the value set to true then the child will also have it set to true by default, and I’d like the default value to be false even if its parent is set to true.
I believe that is the best approach.
You can hide it under advanced group.
Using : “UPROPERTY(AdvancedDisplay)”
I understand what you want but that is how the inherited property works in POO.
If you want another approach you can create a whitelist using devsetting. But you need to remember to add each class there.
