Unreal Engine – Variable Access Library

This Plugin is fully functioning in UE5 EA. Unfortunately I cannot set it live for this engine version. Simply copy over the plugin folder and rebuild the project from source.

NOTE: I am working on a usage video . A Documentation and Example Project are available!

This plugin is still in development and gets extended with each update, therefor the price will change as much more functions get added to the plugin.

V 1.5 UMG & MAP VARIABLE SUPPORT UPDATE (planned release October 6th 2021):

-added UMG Variable Types Support

YOUTUBE TUTORIAL & UPDATED DOCUMENTATION (planned release 30th September)

DESCRIPTION

The library will help you to access variables (listed supported types only) of any actor anywhere in your code by searching for the variable name. The bool return value can be used to check if the desired variable exists.

All functions are widely accessible (in C++ and blueprint)and support also replicated variables.

For calculations with Int & Float by name, functions like Add, Multiply & Divide will help to keep your code clean and accessible.

Set & Math Functions return the new value for easier and cleaner node construction.

PLANNED FEATURES

Due to time limitations and increasing complexity of the functions, further updates will require more time to be completed. I try to push out an update once a month to complete this plugin before the end of the year.

Easy Transform Functions

• Set Location of Transform
• Set Rotation of Transform
• Set Scale of Transform

More Wildcard Functions

• Wildcard Variable
• Wildcard Structs
• Wildcard Maps

Call Function by Name

I will support older engine versions if requested.
