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 (coming soon!).
Prerequisites: Setup your environment so that you can build a C++ UE4 project
- Create a new C++ project
- Create a folder named
Plugins
in the root of your new project (see below) - Clone the repo into the plugins folder, so that you get
Plugins/AutoSizeComments
Your project folder should look like:
ProjectName
\.vs
\Binaries
\Config
\Content
\Intermediate
\Source
\Plugins
\AutoSizeComments
\ProjectName.sln
\ProjectName.uproject
- Open the .uproject and it should prompt you to rebuild the plugin
- Hopefully the build succeeded!
- (Extra) Install the plugin to the engine by moving the
AutoSizeComments
folder to the plugins folder (Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Plugins
) under your installation of UE4.
- Open the project in Visual Studio
- Try to build the project and there should be an error
- Tell me the version of your UE4 and what the error is over at the forum page
