Variables

	Name	Description
uint32: 1	bInternalEvent	If true, this event is internal machinery, and should not be marked BlueprintCallable
uint32: 1	bOverrideFunction	If true, we are actually overriding this function, not making a new event with a signature that matches
FName	CustomFunctionName	If this is not an override, allow user to specify a name for the function created by this entry point
FMemberReferenc...	EventReference	Reference for the function this event is linked to
uint32	FunctionFlags	Additional function flags to apply to this function

Constructors

Overridden from UK2Node

	Name	Description
FNodeHandlin...	CreateNodeHandler ( FKismetCompilerContext& CompilerCo... )
bool	DrawNodeAsEntry()	Return whether to draw this node as an entry
void	ExpandNode ( FKismetCompilerContext& CompilerCo..., UEdGraph* SourceGraph )	Expands a node while compiling, which may add additional nodes or delete this node
FName	GetCornerIcon()
FText	GetMenuCategory()	Override to provide a default category for specific node types to be listed under.
void	GetNodeAttributes ( TArray< TKeyValuePair< FString, FSt... )	This function returns an arbitrary number of attributes that describe this node for analytics events

FText	GetToolTipHeading()
bool	HasExternalDependencies ( TArray< class UStruct* >*... )	Returns whether or not this node has dependencies on an external structure If OptionalOutput isn't null, it should be filled with the known dependencies objects (Classes, Structures, Functions, etc).
bool	NodeCausesStructuralBlueprintChange()	Return true if adding/removing this node requires calling MarkBlueprintAsStructurallyModified on the Blueprint
void	PostReconstructNode()	Called at the end of ReconstructNode, allows node specific work to be performed

Overridden from UEdGraphNode

	Name	Description
void	AllocateDefaultPins()	Allocate default pins for a given node, based only the NodeType, which should already be filled in.
bool	CanPasteHere ( const UEdGraph* TargetGraph )	Determine if this node can live in the specified graph
void	FindDiffs ( UEdGraphNode* OtherNode, FDiffResults& Results )	Gives the node the option to customize how diffs are discovered within it.

FString	GetDocumentationExcerptName()	Returns the name of the excerpt to display from the specified external documentation link for the graph node Default behavior is to return the class name (including prefix)
FString	GetDocumentationLink()	Returns the link used for external documentation for the graph node
FString	GetFindReferenceSearchString()	Gets the search string to find references to this node
FSlateIcon	GetIconAndTint ( FLinearColor& OutColor )
UObject *...	GetJumpTargetForDoubleClick()	Returns the object that should be focused when double-clicking on this node (the object can be an actor, which selects it in the world, or a node/graph/pin)

void	PinConnectionListChanged ( UEdGraphPin* Pin )	Called when the connection list of one of the pins of this node is changed in the editor
void	ValidateNodeDuringCompilation ( FCompilerResultsLog& MessageLog )	Gives each visual node a chance to do final validation before it's node is harvested for use at runtime.
