Blueprint Tools

Blueprint tools follow UE’s Blueprint boundaries. Pick the tool by the thing you are changing:

  • Asset and class contract: blueprint_inspect, blueprint_class_inspect, blueprint_class_edit.
  • Members: variables, functions, macros, dispatchers, custom events, and components use blueprint_member_inspect and blueprint_member_edit.
  • Graphs: nodes, pins, links, defaults, comments, and layout use blueprint_graph_*.
  • Node-local structure: switch cases, sequence pins, Select options, Format Text arguments, and struct field visibility use blueprint_node_*.
  • Creation: graph node creation starts with blueprint_graph_palette.
  • Verification: compile with blueprint_compile.

Use blueprint_graph_palette before graph node creation. Use blueprint_node_inspect when blueprint_graph_inspect returns hasNodeEditCapabilities: true.

Tool List

  • blueprint_inspect: inspect a Blueprint asset and class-level contract.
  • blueprint_class_inspect: inspect parent class and implemented interfaces.
  • blueprint_class_edit: edit parent class and implemented interfaces.
  • blueprint_member_inspect: inspect Blueprint-owned members.
  • blueprint_member_edit: edit Blueprint-owned members.
  • blueprint_graph_list: list graphs in a Blueprint asset.
  • blueprint_graph_inspect: inspect graph nodes, pins, links, and views.
  • blueprint_graph_edit: apply explicit local graph edit commands.
  • blueprint_graph_layout: format selected graph regions.
  • blueprint_node_inspect: inspect one node’s node-local state and capabilities.
  • blueprint_node_edit: edit node-local structure.
  • blueprint_graph_palette: search UE Blueprint Action Menu entries.
  • blueprint_compile: compile a Blueprint asset.

  1. Inspect the asset or graph.
  2. Use blueprint_graph_palette when creating graph nodes.
  3. Use schema_inspect when an edit tool has operation-specific arguments.
  4. Apply one explicit edit.
  5. Compile if behavior changed.
