Hey Edd Coates | Game UI Database 2.0, do you think we can also have a collection of animated save icons in the UI Database (pleasy please)? 😇

When you're in a full-screen menu, you can disable world rendering in #UnrealEngine, so even if your game runs with 30/60 FPS, your menu can be super-duper responsive and run with two quadrillion FPS (empirical value). #UETips #UE4 #UE5

If you expose a function to #UnrealEngine Blueprints, you don't have to live with the ugly "Return Value" pin name. Just use the "ReturnDisplayName" meta tag, and you can strip the shackles of meaninglessness! #UETips #UE4 #UE5

In case you didn't know this, #UnrealEngine has an Asset Picker (Ctrl+P) which supports fuzzy search by asset / folder / type name, etc. Pressing ENTER will even automatically open the first result, so it's super-duper quicky-quick to find your asset with this! #UETips #UE4 #UE5

things are happening github.com/EpicGames/Unre…

.Epic Games Store has released the source code of this checkbox: if (RememberMe.IsChecked()) { // TODO }

I've also met overreacting companies where even open source projects had to be approved beforehand (and commercial indie was an absolute no-go), but CDPR is also very reasonable at this! Unless you're competing, it's all good.

btw my proudest achievement in UE 5.4 is having introduced drop-downs for Name/String function params, no more hand-typed profile names in trace nodes! :D and now you can do this for your own nodes too super simply: UPARAM(Meta=(GetOptions="FunctionName"))

I've got bad news then, I've fixed it for 5.5 :(

coat commit (Zen): "you submit your change with your coat already on", e.g. friday afternoon (which then obviously breaks the build when you're not there anymore) chicken test (CDPR): you start the quest somewhere in the middle (at *this* scene, after *that* event, etc)

Another sneaky undocumented feature I have made for UE 5.4 is searching shortcuts by their bound keys (with the KeyBinding="Escape" format), so if you know you wanna rebind "Escape", but don't know how the action is named, now you can find it! ⌨

TIL in UE5 you can make a comment not show up in the editor if it's specifically for the eyes of C++ coders with //~ and /*~ blocks 🧑‍💻 No more confusing "see UEngine::ParseCommandline for details" tooltips for designers!

Not as exciting as MegaLights, but my contribution to UE 5.5 is that now you can define drop-down options for your String / Name variables in BPs! :D Just create a function that returns an array, and select it in the Advanced panel. You can even use static C++ methods! 🌟

Another UE 5.5 feature of mine is Value / Slider Ranges in Blueprint Structs! They were made in a generalized way, so adding other meta-tag driven property data here should be fairly simple in the future 🪄

did you know that if you want to place some icon next to your text in unreal editor, you don't need to build any custom slate code with an image, you can just put unicode emojis in your string? ⚠️
