Can anyone shine some light on what a “Niagara Python Emitter” is? I’ve found some, what could be useful nodes accessible in my editor utility widget, but can not find any information online about them.
I am trying to modify some properties of my Niagara Emitter modules through an editor utility widget. I can access a reference to the Niagara Emitter, but there are no exposed functions for accessing the modules of that emitter.
How could I make a Niagara Python Emitter? Or how could I convert my existing Niagara Emitter into an emitter that can use these functions?
Seems to me like it’s more of a wrapper for Python to communicate with actual Niagara emitters. Looking at the unreal engine files UpgradeNiagaraScriptResults.h and UpgradeNiagaraScriptResults.cpp, it looks like this class is what allows Python to safely access the information in the actual cpp class and read/write to it.
It looks like normally through Python you would use the basic Niagara Emitter class, and only use the NiagaraPythonEmitter if you are trying to read this specific information. However, there is nothing in the Unreal Python API about this class, so I am unsure how to actually access an instance of it. Perhaps you need to get your regular emitter and cast it to a python emitter? But this can be done in Blueprints, so it makes no sense for it to be called a Python emitter.
Sorry to leave you with more questions than answers, but hopefully a kind soul will hop in to shed some light on this.
