Add Commands via BP In Unreal Engine
How to add commands (CMD) via Blueprints in unreal engine. Basically the same set up to do it for widget editor.
Highly Recommended: Type in a Float value rather than just using the slider as it can stress the engine updating every decimal point value which Also can stress your hardware.
Recommended: Find the default value of the command before applying, then use a branch with the false value being the default value. This will help you avoid any issues.
Execute Console Command. You can run this in "Event Beginplay", "Construction Script" Or "New Functions" - Done, it's that simple... Ok so there are other ways if you want to adjust the values.
This is how you can type in a value (Do not use the float slider. Make sure to type in values). It is very important at the end of the command text it has a "Space", it wont work without one!
This is how you do a "Off or On" Value. 0=Off/1=On It's the same as a bool value. Note: Bools don't work with the prior method unfortunately. Once again have the false go to the CMD default value to avoid issues.
For the new to Unreal Engine person messaging me asking why the function doesn't work for them. Drag the function onto Event Graph or construction script & hook it up.
Flaws: It will apply all the CMD values set in the BP this way when you change any one value. This can be fixed by using another set of Branches & bools or calling the function in the editor.
Alternatively you can enable "Call In Editor" to get a Function button on the BP to turn the commands on. This will only do the command in that specific function.
Simple button to enable the function.
