The Advanced Commenting plugin is a set of Blueprint Graph nodes that allow you to create extensively customisable buttons, images and blocks of text. All within your Blueprint graphs.

Provides a set of tools to allow for a more noticeable and comprehensive collaboration experience; allowing devs to spend less time searching for documentation and more time creating. Also making sure the correct docs get read.

Includes extensive project specific default values. Give your team the ability to set project specific default values to allow your blueprint comments to better match a style that works with your team.

Please note that this plugin does NOT add these comment nodes to the material graph at this time. It does work within animation blueprints though!




Comment types:

Button Comments

  • Two modes: Open web URL and Open asset
  • Open web URL: Link to documentation, work tickets, tutorials and anything else you can point a web browser at.
  • Open asset: Click to open an asset in editor. Also works for opening C++ classes.
  • Fully customisable colours, button text, font and icons.
  • Tooltips show the web URL or asset name.

Image Comments

  • Show design sketches, structure diagrams, branding and any other images you may wish to share with your team.
  • Can be taken from local files in your project folder or from textures.
  • Allows for local image files to be stored outside of your content folder so they're harder to accidentally package.
  • Lets you set custom tooltips to give explanations for your images.
  • Set image size by either a size multiplier or by setting the width or height. Images will always keep aspect ratio.

Text Block Comments

  • Optional headings.
  • Fully customisable colours, font, padding, text justification and max text width before wrap for both your text and your heading.
  • Text display on node is an editable text box for a better editing experience
  • Auto-wrapping with custom wrap threshold
