(UE4 4.21 ) UE4 编辑器扩展的杂项总结

 

UE4调用Windows文件操作面板

(1)PickDirectory(拾取目录)

    FString AbsoluteGameContentDir = FPaths::ConvertRelativePathToFull(FPaths::ProjectContentDir());


   FString Directory;
	IDesktopPlatform* DesktopPlatform = FDesktopPlatformModule::Get();
	if (DesktopPlatform)
	{

		TSharedPtr<SWindow> ParentWindow = FSlateApplication::Get().FindWidgetWindow(BrowseButton.ToSharedRef());
		void* ParentWindowHandle = (ParentWindow.IsValid() && ParentWindow->GetNativeWindow().IsValid()) ? ParentWindow->GetNativeWindow()->GetOSWindowHandle() : nullptr;

		FString StartDirectory = FEditorDirectories::Get().GetLastDirectory(ELastDirectory::GENERIC_IMPORT);
		if (bRelativeToGameContentDir && !IsValidPath(StartDirectory, bRelativeToGameContentDir))
		{
			StartDirectory = AbsoluteGameContentDir;
		}

		// Loop until; a) the user cancels (OpenDirectoryDialog returns false), or, b) the chosen path is valid (IsValidPath returns true)
		for (;;)
		{
			if (DesktopPlatform->OpenDirectoryDialog(ParentWindowHandle, LOCTEXT("FolderDialogTitle", "Choose a directory").ToString(), StartDirectory, Directory))
			{
				FText FailureReason;
				if (IsValidPath(Directory, bRelativeToGameContentDir, &FailureReason))
				{
					FEditorDirectories::Get().SetLastDirectory(ELastDirectory::GENERIC_IMPORT, Directory);

					if (bRelativeToGameContentDir)
					{
						Directory = Directory.RightChop(AbsoluteGameContentDir.Len());
					}
					else if (bUseRelativePath)
					{
						Directory = IFileManager::Get().ConvertToRelativePath(*Directory);
					}

				}
				else
				{
					StartDirectory = Directory;
					FMessageDialog::Open(EAppMsgType::Ok, FailureReason);
					continue;
				}
			}
			break;
		}
	}

在DirectoryPathStructCustomization.cpp的OnPickDirectory函数

 

(2)拾取文件目录

具体参考LandscapeEditorDetailCustomization_TargetLayers.cpp的OnImportLayer函数

IDesktopPlatform* DesktopPlatform = FDesktopPlatformModule::Get();
DesktopPlatform->OpenFileDialog(
			FSlateApplication::Get().FindBestParentWindowHandleForDialogs(nullptr),

(3)保存文件

具体参考LandscapeEditorDetailCustomization_TargetLayers.cpp的OnExportLayer函数

IDesktopPlatform* DesktopPlatform = FDesktopPlatformModule::Get();
esktopPlatform->SaveFileDialog()

 

GEditor

GEditor包含了很多对编辑器操作。

(1)在编辑器获取编辑器所在世界的指针

	UWorld* EditorWorld = GEditor->GetEditorWorldContext().World();

利用这个编辑器世界的指针就是可以在编辑器里进行各种操作，如SpawnActor，GetActorsOfClass等等

 

(2)其它的如选中某个Actor，设置选中一个Actor相应的颜色，材质等等接口都在GEditor。
