Get child bone names?

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

The title says it all. How can I get the names of child bones until the end of the hierarchy? e.g. children of Shoulder_L would be LowerArm_L, Hand_L, various finger bones etc.

Hey @papa335678 how are you?

Unfortunately, there is no way to obtain the names of the child bones of another bone using blueprints.

I researched and tried various methods and workarounds to solve your question, but the only thing I found is that it is not possible to do so in BP.

This will give you the name of all the children of whatever you put into the ParentBoneName.

Not sure if order is important to you or not but if it is you might need to sort them using GetBoneIndex and putting them into order yourself.
