Feedback & Requests

I’ve been doing a lot of BP scripting and a few little things bug me constantly. I would like to see:

1. A bigger description box for functions/blueprints/macros. Perhaps some expandable box. I’ve taken to using comment boxes inside the graph because using the description box for more than a few words is a pain.

2. Ability to reorder local variables. The variables seem to be placed in order by creation, which is hardly cleaner than random. Alphabetical would be okay.

3. Ability to reorder functions/macros in libraries. Alphabetical would be okay. For example, I would like to be able to put the LinspaceLoop macros together in the image below.

4. Ability to justify BP nodes on the right. When you move a node around it automatically snaps the top-left corner of the node to the grid. Things look a lot cleaner when they are justified by top-right corner. I find myself using the align-right tool so often that this would be a nice workflow improvement. I’m not sure of the best place to put this option. Perhaps in ProjectSettings.

5. Reroute nodes in the material editor. PassThrough nodes just don’t cut it. It’s hard to keep a complex material from turning into spaghetti.

Finally, one little bug that occurs when you are trying to change parameter names in a function/macro. You can’t change the case of a letter without renaming the parameter first. For example, if I misspell an input “Forceinput” and try to change it to “ForceInput” it reverts automatically. This happens to me a lot.
