SHOWCASE VIDEO LINK

FEATURES

This plugin introduces two new quality-of-life improvements for Custom Events, with adding a new one. Aimed at enhancing the multiplayer Blueprint development experience.

  1. Replication-Based Coloring

    Styled Custom Events visually adapt their node colors based on their replication settings (Multicast, Run on Server, Run on Owning Client).

  2. The features can be Enabled or Disabled via Editor Preferences.

  3. Colors for each replication mode are fully customizable from Editor Preferences as well.

  4. Replication Prefix Naming

    When a Styled Custom Event’s name is changed, it will automatically receive a prefix depending on its replication type.
    Note: Prefix will be added after rename. After changing the replication setting, the node must be renamed to receive a prefix. You can press F2 and Enter to add the determined prefix.

  5. If a prefix already exists, it will be updated to match the current replication state.

  6. The Prefixes and the Colors can be changed in Editor Preferences.
