How to: Console Commands every time Unreal Engine starts and the Game is played

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

Hi guys,

currently I use quite a lot of commands inside the editor every time I open Unreal Engine, since Unreal Engine won´t remember the typed in commands. They are commands like:

  • r.Shadow.CSMDepthBias 7
  • r.Shadow.FilterMethod 1
  • …

Is there an easy way to make Unreal Engine load these commands automatically every time it starts and also use them when the game is running of course.

Right now I haven´t found any solution I understand since I never did something with Blueprints, so it would be great if someone could give me a detailed explanation.

Thanks,
Marcus

There is a “Console Command” node you can use in a blueprint which can call those commands. You would place the console string in the node.

If it’s typing them out all the time that is the nuisance, try a simple txt file with them listed or bookmark this:

That sounds great. I am going to try and start this on startup and when playing the game and get back if it worked or not.

Hey Conrad,

it worked so far. Thanks! May I ask you some short questions about this?

Here is what I came up with following this workflow: Running Blueprints at Editor Startup | Unreal Engine Documentation

IDk if you are still doing this through BP.
but this also helps, for you or anyone who comes across this post for the same solutions.

this is nice, but not work either, as this is also not permanent. Just you can see all the changes you made and their values.
