The more I use blueprints, I find it’s a poor design, especially when my actor has 50 over components cos I’m use component based design instead of putting logic in actor class.

It would be better there is a text based way to build the actor (not C++, cos designers don’t know how). I’m thinking if there is a way to serialize blueprints to text and back.
