Is there a way to set up buttons or text entry in an actor’s editor detail panel without making the actor a blueprint actor or using any blueprints? Any good example? Just need some simple buttons and some text entry … :face_with_monocle:

How exactly do you propose to utilize a details panel of a class that doesn’t exist?

Not sure what you mean. It is a standard UActor with mesh components. It exists. :grinning:

But you said you wanted

Yeah using pure C++ actors here. Not blueprint actors.

All UPROPERTY() of C++ actors show up in details panel.

Just wondering how to get buttons on there in C++.

Are you thinking of the buttons that run editor functions?

If so, you’ll want UFUNCTION(CallInEditor)
