How to handle Lots of Links to function Params

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Sometimes I have a function with a lot of parameters. And those parameters are used in several places.
If I connect everything to the Function Entry Node I get a mess of crossed lines that are hard to follow.

My pattern so far has been to delare Local Variables for each of these parameters. (The names cannot be the exact same as the function parameters so that gets confusing as the local variable names end up being simular but different then the parameters). Also it adds a lot of bulk and confusion at the start of my function “setting” all of the local variables.

ReRoute nodes can help some but they often end up getting crossed as well making it hard to tell where something came from.

Looking for good strategies to deal with this situation.Maybe I am missing a blueprint editor feature that lets you access the parameters as local variables already?

I think since 4.16 you can simply rightclick and type the function parameter name to get them as if they where local vars. If its not in 4.15 or you can´t make the switch to a newer version I suggest using Structs and promote them to local variables whenever possible.

Not a feature in 4.15, that I can find, good to know that its solved in 4.16 Thanks
