Hopefully the name Cow Nodes will become true someday and there will be more public nodes but everything needs to be started at some point. List of nodes: - CowCreateWidgetAsync - Ultimate Create Widget Async - CowGetAllActorsOfClass/CowGetActorOfClass - Get Actors without hard-refs CowCreateWidgetAsync Improved Version of Epic's CreateWidget and CreateWidgetAsync (from CommonGame ) This version combines the best of both worlds with general quality-of-life improvements Key Features - No Hard References : Does not introduce a hard reference to the selected widget class in packaged game (similar to CreateWidgetAsync ). - ExposedOnSpawn Parameters : Displays any ExposedOnSpawn parameters (similar to CreateWidget ). - Automatic Handling of ExposedOnSpawn Variables : Automatically adds new ExposedOnSpawn variables (which CreateWidget does not handle). - Widget Class Pin Enhancements : - Supports linked properties and propagates their class. - Example: Suppose you created a soft class property MyClass of type WBP BaseWidget with an exposed member Text (so only WBP BaseWidget and derived classes can be selected). If you connect MyClass property to the node, it will properly: 1. Display any exposed members ( Text will be shown). 2. Set the return type of the node to WBP BaseWidget .
