GPT was helpful in suggesting the approach to solving this issue: NodeFactory.
I had a working version within an hour.
Two more to test & polish.

I love how modular Unreal is.
It was very satisfying to wrap up a simple QoL feature like this so quickly.

Today a coworker told me that he's always hated #UnrealEngine's comment movement behavior.
He hates Group Movement, I love it.
And we clash sometimes working on blueprints.
Yes, we know [Shift] disables group movement. But it can be annoying.
So I made a plugin today to fix for us both.

The craziest part about twitter hiding likes, is that they stopped showing posts people-you-follow liked.

I have multiple tweets which have only been liked by Tim Sweeney... who has hundreds of thousands of followers.

Bluesky did not do any better... 0 engagement.

What could go wrong having an elicit relationship with a robot owned by a wannabe Lex Luthor?

In #UnrealEngine 5.5 Folders in plugins now have a special icon.... the thing is.....
All our content is in plugins 😅

I might try out that plugin which lets you set your own icons.

Help....
I circled areas where I think it's 50-50
The upper left I'll know once I fill the rest in due to mine count.
I thought #Minesweeper didn't require guessing, but I think I HAVE to guess in the bottom middle.

Something the Perforce GUI does well which I WISH other VCS's would implement is:

-- Change Lists --

They are local unfinished commits. It's so useful to organize WIP files when I'm working on multiple things at once #gamedev. You can write the commit description early, push later.

This works for Function Parameters and Struct metadata.

You can specify your own project specific metadata tags, and the plugin will add the appropriate value editor to the details panel.

For instance, here's one I added yesterday to our project.

I query the value in our editor widgets.

My favorite way to control #UnrealEngine Timelines is with a custom function SetDuration. Which scales the PlayRate to match a given Duration.
This will make any Timeline of *any Length* play for the given Duration.
I prefer to then author my curves from 0-1.

For character jump, calculate the up-force from a Target-Height.
Now you have control, and can tune other factors to change that jump's feel.
- Faster ascend ? Increase gravity.
- Hang time? Disable gravity at the apex.
