I don’t understand what you mean, but maybe my question wasn’t clear enough. To be more specific, I created a function called PseudoVolumeTextureEDITED(…) in a .ush file, which I wish to store inside my project folder . Now I want to call this function in my custom node, inside material editor, instead of the original PseudoVolumeTexture that’s stored in the engine’s common.ush file. I saw the link you recommended to create shaders inside a plugin folder , but I couldn’t figure it out how to use function from a .ush file that would be inside this folder from the material editor’s custom node. Thanks in advance!

In that link, it teaches how to create a global shader plugin where you have macros inside the C++ code to publish(implement) the contents of a USF or USH file. Without that you can’t have a function made public to use in a custom node like the original PseudoVolumeTexture was in common.ush. This behavior is necessary since 4.17, before that you could just place a USH file inside the engine shader folder.
