This was originally a feature from the Blueprint Assist Plugin, a plugin that provides automatic formatting and mouse-free node editing when working with blueprints.
There are two methods of building the plugin. I suggest using the first method if you have a C++ project setup.
-
In your project folder, create a plugin folder
C:/UnrealProjects/MyProject/Plugins -
Clone the repo into the plugin folder
-
Open your project in your IDE and build the project
-
If everything built successfully, you can keep the plugin local to your project. Or you can move it into the engine plugin folder.
C:/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace
- Clone the repo
- Open the command prompt and run the UnrealEngine batch file to build the plugin, with your download location and out location.
"
%UNREAL_DESIRED%/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="%DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%/AutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments.uplugin" -Package="%OUT_LOCATION%" -CreateSubFolder
Example: Building for desired version UE_5.0:
%UNREAL_DESIRED%: C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0%DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%: C:/Temp%OUT_LOCATION%: C:Temp/AutoSizeComments
"C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="C:Temp/AutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments.uplugin" -Package="C:/TempAutoSizeComments" -CreateSubFolder
- Copy the built plugin folder from your package location (
C:/TempAutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments) into either your:- Project plugin location
%PROJECT_DIR%/Plugins - Engine plugin marketplace folder
C:/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace
- Project plugin location
