Python Helper

This plugin has a Python file explorer, so you can run any python file with one click. And this plugin will automatically identify the functions defined in a python file and call them directly by clicking the function name in Unreal Editor.

Technical Details

Features:

This plug-in provides an "unreallib.py" module, which contains a complete UnrealEngine Python API. When you use it in text editors such as VS Code, you will get an intelligent code prompt, function parameter prompt, return value type inference, comments, etc. It's better than an automatically generated unreal.py file, smaller and compact, and supports the Type Hint syntax of python3.
Automatically detect all Python files in the "$ProjectDir$/ Python" directory and run the file by clicking a button.
After clicking the python file, it will automatically identify the functions defined and call them directly by clicking a button (only functions without parameters can be executed)
When you edit a file in VS Code, it will automatically detect the change in the file and refresh the list of callable functions.
When the panel is closed, all automatic detection will be stopped until the panel is reopened.
