Hi,

Registering a custom component visualiser though the manager seems to get rid of all the other visualisers. I think this is due to the way the component visualiser module is registering the modules though GUnrealEd which is still null when my plugin loads. I’ve Any tips?

That may be a bug that needs to be fixed; most other registration systems like that use a separate singleton that is initialized on first use to reduce loading order issues. I’m not sure if there are any existing examples of extending it in another module yet.

One thing you can try is to make your plugin module load in a later phase. You can set the phase per-module in the .uplugin file; for example:

		{
			"Name" : "SmartSnapping",
			"Type" : "Editor",
			"LoadingPhase" : "PostEngineInit"
		}

Cheers,
