Syntax

class UBlueprintVariableNodeSpawner : public UBlueprintFieldNodeSpawner

Remarks

Takes care of spawning variable getter/setter nodes. Serves as the "action" portion for certain FBlueprintActionMenuItems. Evolved from FEdGraphSchemaAction_K2Var, and can spawn nodes for both member-variables and local function variables.

Functions

	Name	Description
UBlueprintVa...	CreateFromLocal ( TSubclassOf< UK2Node_Variable > Nod..., UEdGraph* VarContext, FBPVariableDescription const& VarD..., FProperty* VarProperty, UObject* Outer )	Creates a new UBlueprintVariableNodeSpawner, charged with spawning a local-variable node (for a variable that belongs to a specific graph).
UBlueprintVa...	CreateFromMemberOrParam ( TSubclassOf< UK2Node_Variable > Nod..., FProperty const* VarProperty, UEdGraph* VarContext, UClass* OwnerClass )	Creates a new UBlueprintVariableNodeSpawner, charged with spawning a member-variable node (for a variable that has an associated FProperty)
FFieldVarian...	GetVarOuter()	If this is a local variable, then this will return the UEdGraph that it belongs to, otherwise it pulls the outer from the wrapped member-variable property.
FProperty co...	GetVarProperty()	Accessor to the variable's property.
FEdGraphPinT...	GetVarType()	Utility function for easily accessing the variable's type (needs to pull the information differently if it is a local variable as opposed to a member variable with a FProperty).
bool	IsLocalVariable()	Since this spawner can wrap both local and member variables, we use this method to discern between the two.
bool	IsUserLocalVariable()

Overridden from UBlueprintNodeSpawner

	Name	Description
FBlueprintNo...	GetSpawnerSignature()	We want to be able to compare spawners, and have a signature that is rebuildable on subsequent runs.
FBlueprintAc...	GetUiSpec ( FBlueprintActionContext const& Con..., FBindingSet const& Bindings )	Takes the default FBlueprintActionUiSpec and modifies it dynamically to accommodate the current context.
UEdGraphNode...	Invoke ( UEdGraph* ParentGraph, FBindingSet const& Bindings, FVector2D const Location )	Takes care of spawning a node for the specified graph.
void	Prime()	Not required, but intended to passively help speed up menu building operations.
