How to create Automated Asset Import Data (blueprint widget utilities)

Development Pipeline & Plugins Editor Scripting

Hi all,

I’m creating some tools for importing assets automatically through blueprints (FBX meshes, FBX animation and Alembics). I’m getting totally stuck on how to create Automated Asset Import Data for the Asset Tools node to use.

I think I’m missing something obvious, as its by far “the simplest” part of the tool so far, but I cant work out how to create this data via blueprints and the documentation doesn’t seem to offer any information on this.

Similarly I’m trying to create a new level sequence, but once it’s created, it crashes UE4 every time I try to open it. I am sure this is because I haven’t set a “factory”. I’m also totally at a loss to work out how to create a reference to the correct factory through blueprints.

Right click on the “SET Import Data” node -> Create variable ‘Import Data’
