Missing access to BP-Function in derived BlutilityClass

[Seim2k]

Hi,

I extended a Blutility in C++ . After that I created the Blutility in the Editor from this class (which inherit from “GlobalEditorUtilityBase”).

When Editing the Blueprint I miss some BlueprintFunctions I need (“EditorScripting-Functions” which comes from a PlugIn I guess, like Saving a map).

Am I missing something ? I thought when deriving from a BaseClass all functionality from the BaseClass will also be accessable in the derived Class.

This question is also related to:

As a “workaround” I wanted to provide I Button in the Blutility which simply will Saves the loaded level after changeing the materials.

I already added the Blutility-Module to the .Build.cs file.

(PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "Blutility" });

Can you help me?

Thanks.

Today I stumbled again over this “bug” and found the solution. At least it was a mistake, one of these little things you (and me) forgot when creating stuff.

Please make sure that if you add a module/and,or a plugin which should execute Editorthings (like a Blutility does) to mark it as a Editor-Module, not as in my case as a “Developer” (=Runtime) module.

So solution in short lies in the ProjectName.uplugin - file:

...
"Modules": [
		{
			"Name": "Blub",
			"Type": "Editor",
			"LoadingPhase": "Default"
		},
		{
			"Name": "Bla",
			"Type": "RuntimeNoCommandlet",
			"LoadingPhase": "Default"
		}
	]
...

Then I can use the BP-Functions which are Blutility (=Editor) related inside my Blutility which is inherited from “GlobalEditorUtilityBase”.
