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.


Building for your version of UE4

  1. Download the plugin
  2. Open AutoSizeComments.uplugin in a text editor and set EngineVersion to your desired version, by default it is set to (4.27.0). For example if you wanted to build for 5.0.0 it would be "EngineVersion": "5.0.0",
  3. Open the command prompt and run the UnrealEngine batch file to build the plugin, with your download location and out location.

"%UNREAL_DESIRED%/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="%DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%/AutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments.uplugin" -Package="%OUT_LOCATION%" -CreateSubFolder

Example: Building for desired version UE_5.0:

  • %UNREAL_DESIRED%: C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0
  • %DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%: C:/Temp
  • %OUT_LOCATION%: C:Temp/AutoSizeComments

"C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" BuildPlugin -Plugin="C:Temp/AutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments.uplugin" -Package="C:/TempAutoSizeComments" -CreateSubFolder

  1. Copy the built plugin folder from your package location (C:/TempAutoSizeComments/AutoSizeComments) into either your:
    • Project plugin location %PROJECT_DIR%/Plugins
    • Engine plugin marketplace folder C:/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace
