How to add custom spline point properties?

I have derived a class from USplineComponent, and another class from USplineMetadata to use with it. For both classes I have basically copied the code from the water plugin implementation for water spline and adjusted it to fit my needs. In water plugin, when a spline point is selected in the editor, under “selected points” there are some extra properties for the point specific to the water spline. How do I go on about adding such a thing for my own spline class in C++? Does it have anything to do with the spline component visauliser or spline metadata details? Any answer is much appreciated.

Sorry for late answer, but to those who need:

  1. You should take care of spline data points tranfer between instances, as you move component in editor. Check this article: Unreal Engine 5: Spline point metadata – Mint Banjo section about standalone component in the end.
  2. You need to use custom details panel for your component (derive from IDetailCustomization)
  3. For your needs you may have to derive your visualization class, from FSplineComponentVisualizer.
  4. Don’t forget to do it with two modules : runtime and editor.
