Tips & Tricks

CallInEditor functions

CallInEditor functions are supported which means you can make a clickable button in details view that will execute a function in editor.

UCLASS()
class UMySubsystem : public UWorldSubsystem
{
   GENERATED_BODY()
public:
   UFUNCTION(CallInEditor, Category=Debug)
   void DrawDebugInfo() { /* implement something */ }
}

Config Export

If your subsystem has config properties you can export their data into associated ini file by using Export to Defaults context menu action.

Or instead of modifying default files you can export ini section into clipboard by using Export Modified or Export All context menu actions.

Notes

Release packages are always updated to latest marketplace release version
