Please implement Short-Circuit evaluation for Blueprint

Uh this is already supported, you just stagger the branch nodes. Do x then if true do y. I thought this was the intended workflow for that in BP.

Regardless c++ is by standard a short circuiting language. since BP is written in c++ you’d think that it would be SC’d as well, can you provide proof it isnt SC’ing ?

I wonder if SC was overridden for BP so that there are no errors in branch prediction.

Because it seems like blueprint works on the surface as such that each node is its own function and they try to safely acquire all data needed for said function before execution, which would answer why both get looked at (i honestly have no idea)

@SaxonRah yeah I’m away you can just stack the branch , but it seems counterintuitive to have AND node and ended up having to do that.

BTW , I can confirm it doesn’t short circuit surely. Just do an AND node with 2 pins. Put false at the top one. Connect the second to a pure function that returns boolen . In the pure function , just do print string. You’ll see the string printed , which should not , because if the first pin is false , the second one must not be evaluated.

I think it is to be noted that , This is an optimization for an OR as well. Meaning , if the first one is true , the rest should NOT be evaluated.
