Visibly expose Function/Property settings

Blueprint functions look currently like:

If you need information of a function

  • Private
  • Pure
  • Call In Editor

you always need to click through all functions.

There should be icons after the function name to make theses properties visible on first look.

  • +(Public) / #(Protected) / -(Private)
  • P (Pure)
  • CE (Call in Editor)

Or buttons to set the parameters directly. The “Instance Editable” member of Properties (Variables) is exposed already.

Same for Variables, more data should be visibly exposed.

  • Private
  • Expose to Cinematics
  • Replicated
  • Transient
  • SaveGame
  • Config

Mhm, I’d actually change the color of pure function icon to green - to match its graph representation. I was sure it is green until I checked…
“Private” specifier doesn’t work, probably it never worked. Yeah, it would be to OK add eye icon here (matching variable style convention), if this blueprint feature would start working

I wouldn’t expose anything else because it would clutter the entire list of functions. Readability could actually suffer.

Marking them green is already happening, as this PR has been accepted: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5757

And I already have an unreviewed PR to disable the Private/Protected/Public selector until it gets implemented (if ever): https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/5892
