What's new in TAPython 1.0.10

TAPython has released v1.0.10, which includes the build for Unreal Engine 5.1.1

The Intermediate directory is added to the package and includes UnrealEditor-TAPython.lib (UE4Editor-TAPython.lib in UE4) to make compatibility with the Automated Build System. At the same time, add the corresponding .dll for DebugGame mode.

New Feature

Slate

Add support for SWebBrowser

Adding support for SWebBrowser allows you to embed WebBrowser in the tool window, which can be helpful in some situations, such as embedding the internal pipeline tool in the python tool in Unreal Editor.

Alt text

Using the SWebBrowser widget, the web browser plug-in is required. It is disabled by default. We must enable the plug-in before using it

SWebBrowser Plugin

Widgets

  • Added "SizeRule" attribute for the SSplitter widget. Optional values are "FractionOfParent" and "SizeToContent",

  • And more attributes for SColorBlock and SColorPicker

ChameleonData

  • GetVisibility

Get the current visibility status of the widget.

  • Set/GetColor

They are used for getting and setting the color of the widget.

More APIs for SWebBrowser widget though ChameleonData.

  • LoadURL
  • GetURL
  • LoadPageFromString
  • ReloadPage
  • GetTitleTextOfPage
  • IsPageLoaded
  • IsPageLoading
  • CanGoBack
  • GoBack
  • CanGoForward
  • GoForward
  • BindUobjectToBrowser
  • UnbindUobjectToBrowser

ChameleonTool

  • The tool's wind can be set with "IsModalWindow" or "HasMinimizeMaximizeButton" to hide the maximize button.

If IsModalWindow is set to True, Tab is still a nomad type and we can still dock to other Windows.

Known issue: the maximize button reappears after the window is floated from the docked window.

  • Add "HasSection" attribute, which defaults to True, used to hide the Section text above the menu item when creating a menu with ToolMenus Anchor.

Add a configurable menu for PhysicsAssetEditor and ControlRigEditor

As the Material Editor, we can add custom menus for Physics Asset Editor and Control Rig Editor now.

    "OnPhysicsAssetEditorMenu": {
        "name": "Python Menu On Physics Asset Editor",
        "items":
        [
            {
                "name": "TA Python Physics Asset Example",
                "items": [
                    {
                        "name": "Print Physics Asset",
                       "command": "print(%f)"
                    }
                ]
           }
        ]
     }

Add menu in ToolMenus Anchor

We can add a TAPython menu where the UE ToolMenus can.

    "ControlRigEditor.RigHierarchy.ContextMenu": {
        "name": "Python Menu On Control Rig Editor",
        "items": [
            {
                "name": "Rigging Tools",
                "command": "print('Rigging Tools')",
                "icon": {
                    "style": "ChameleonStyle",
                    "name": "Resources.Chameleon_32x_png"
                }
            }
        ]
    }

And we can add a context menu for object's component in Detail views.

    Kismet.SubobjectEditorContextMenu: {
        ...
    }
Console Command
TAPython.RefreshToolMenus 

"TAPython.RefreshToolMenus" can be used to refresh the "ToolMenus" menus, other menus will be auto-refreshed and not need this command

Editor Lib

PythonBPLib

  • GetModifierKeyState

GetModifierKeyState Get the modifier key states(Ctrl, Shift, Alt, etc.), so we used it to display an optional dialog or menu.

  • SnapshotDetails

We can tank a snapshot of the entire Details window via 'snapshot_details'. The file will be saved to \Saved\Screenshots\WindowsEditor\ObjectDetailProperties. Note we need to make sure the focus is on the Details window.

object_detail_snapshot

PythonTestLib

  • CancelDelayCallById

Cancel the specified DelayCall by ID.

Fixed

  • The "Margin" of STextBlock is not working.
  • The "OnTextChanged" and "OnTextCommitted" callback are not working when the input text is empty. (delete the text with backspace)
