Execution tree¶
- Shows Event → Branch/Sequence → node execution chains as a tree.
- Macros and collapsed graphs expand automatically into the outline.
- Multi-graph coverage: Event, Function, Macro, Delegate graphs.
- Multi-editor: each Blueprint Editor window gets its own panel.
- Expansion state is preserved across refresh/compile using stable
NodeGuidkeys.
Jump to node¶
- Double-click an outline row to focus and zoom the matching graph node.
- Graph selection syncs into the outline (and the reverse via user selection paths).
- Repeat-path rows may show a
↺marker when the same node appears again on another path.
Search and filters¶
- Real-time search; regex can be enabled from the search UI.
- Filters (Settings / filter UI) include Exec Only, Branch/Sequence, Latent, Function Calls, Variable Get/Set, Custom Events, Pure Nodes, Event Dispatchers, Switch, MultiGate, Timeline, State Machine, Composite, Macro, Event, Delegate.
- Additional filters: Error/Warning only, Bookmarked only, Commented only; Return nodes optional; Reroute nodes hidden by default.
Documentation¶
- Human-readable documentation panel without raw
K2Nodenoise. - Copy subtree / full event; Markdown export.
- Documentation vs technical detail modes; pin tooltips; category badges.
Bookmarks and comments¶
- Star: bookmark nodes; persists across sessions.
- Balloon: add/edit the native Blueprint node comment; hover a blue balloon to read the note; click to edit.
- Instant UI refresh without waiting for a full recompile when comments change.
Smart Flow Lanes¶
- Optional lane overlay for Branch True/False and Sequence/Switch paths.
- Contextual short labels appear when the overlay is active (Settings).
Heat map¶
- Optional complexity strip beside outline rows (Settings).
- Hover the strip for a compact complexity tooltip (when enabled).
About¶
