How do you connect two broken pins together?

Hi

Like the question asks, when working with Blueprints, how do you merge/combine two split pins together? Whenever I try to drag one onto the other, it just replaces (breaks) the wire further up.

Depends on what you are trying to connect to down the chain.

This. If unreal can convert the two sides (eg: int → string) it will put in the conversion node for you. Otherwise I can’t tell what’s going into what.

To ensure it’s not just a bug-bug, try dragging from the source of the first line to the target of the second, bypass the ‘broken’ nodes directly. If it doesn’t work then, then it’s a type issue you likely need to resolve manually.

For clarity…
White lines and reroutes are for “Execution”…Chain flow. Colored are for types.

Sorry, I should have clarified - I’m just re-routing the wire with additional nodes to make things more organised.

Use a custom event for recursive loop calls.

For long splines just double click on the spline to add a reroute node. Fully connect it A → B, then go back and add the reroutes.
