Summary

In Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), the Custom Node is missing from the Material Editor. Unlike in Unreal Engine 5, where you can use a Custom Node to write HLSL code directly, this feature does not appear in UEFN, making it impossible to use custom shader functions.

Or automatic traduct HLSL to Material Graph

Additional Notes

I try to recreate my custom node HSLS in material but it was very very hard
I try to recreate sobel matrix with material graph
Is this an intentional limitation in UEFN, or is it a bug? If this feature is missing, are there any plans to add it in a future update?
