[Suggestion] Make Brueprint function inputs - local variables

If it were that easy it would have been done already. In the final compiled bytecode the two are effectively the same, but in the ‘source code’, inputs/outputs are currently handled completely differently to local variables. Locals are done like class member variables with an array of BP variable decls, while inputs/outputs are done with the pins on the input/output nodes being the authoritative data source. This is what I was saying earlier, the ideal way to add this is to make the parameters of a function just be done in the same way as locals are done, but that entails a bunch of extra backwards compatibility work to convert from the old to the new way, so it’s not a tiny quick feature.

Cheers,

hi , no link with this topic but as Paper 2D Creator and 2d lover could you throw one of your eye on this topic :
Ori and the blind forest GPU Water and dynamic wave - Rendering - Epic Developer Community Forums , i guess for everyone working or loving modern 2D it can be very interesting as btw it’s already the most view topic since couple of days.
thanks in advance and keep the good work !
