Unreal 5 blueprints Efficiency Tips

Efficiency#

Better Keybinds#

You can change keybind so they are easier to reach, for example:

Function	Old Key	New Key
Delete/Remove	Backspace/Delete	x/Backspace

Delete requires your right hand, you have to take your hand off your mouse to press it, but x can be pressed with your left hand.

Plugins#

Blueprint assist $20#

Formats blueprint nodes for you. Can’t live without this plugin.
Note: There are other formating plugins, though I haven’t tried them. So I can’t be sure of their quality.

Spawn Node Extension $5#

In ue5, you can hold “b” and press left click in a blueprint to create a branch node, this plugin expands on this feature. You can setup custom nodes such as “not”,“print” My settings:

Key	node	class path
W	while loop	/Engine/EditorBlueprintResources/StandardMacros.StandardMacros
E	equal	/Script/GameplayTags.BlueprintGameplayTagLibrary.EqualEqual_GameplayTagContainer
Q	print	I’m using a custom plugin for printing
G	get	/Script/BlueprintGraph.K2Node_GetArrayItem

Many videos about plugins on yotuube#

There are many videos about plugins on Youtube, I recommend giving them a watch. Besides plugins, the tips and tricks videos are also good.
