I like Blueprint, I really do, but once you want to make more involved tooling for a project, the game’s foundation just needs to be native. So I did that. I nativized everything. I put all movement into an actor component so I can throw it on NPCs/enemies, I extracted all the world grid stuff out so it’s streamlined and fast, and this allowed me to make a map maker tool: Taylor ue5 Blueprint c++ Slate Blueprint tools Dungeon Crawler https://tbwrightartist.com/posts/slate_thumbnails/ Wed, 20 Apr 2022 20:26:35 -0500 tbwrightartist@gmail.com (Taylor) Wed, 20 Apr 2022 20:26:35 -0500 https://tbwrightartist.com/posts/slate_thumbnails/ This is going to be a short one.

Each item in the ListView has specific context actions associated with them, and I really wanted them to appear in a right-click popup menu. So I did. And after this article you can, too.
