This library currently includes over 60 new blueprint nodes and is continuously being updated.
Plugin Modules
The plugin can be broadly divided into the following modules:
Network Module - Supports TCP/UDP Socket for sending and receiving data, defaulting to non-blocking mode.
Texture Module - Provides operations on Texture2D.
Byte Module - Allows manipulation of the actual memory address of blueprint variables.
Array Module - Adds blueprint nodes for array operations not well supported by default, such as wildcard sorting, deduplication, simulation of intersections, unions, differences, averaging, and weighted random selection.
Other Modules - Includes practical functions such as modifying named properties via strings (Struct.PropertyA.Property.Float), and other operations like random string generation, screenshot, etc.
Network Module
In Unreal Engine, I encapsulated FSocket to simplify its use. By using the BlueprintEnchantNetworkHandler class, you can quickly set up a socket.
For instance, setting up a TCP protocol involves the following nodes:
Create Socket Handler - The base for creating a Socket variable, allowing selection between TCP/UDP protocols, and whether it's server or client side, returning a created wrapper.
Bind - The Bind function is a member of Handler, so you need to set the returned handler as a variable and use it to call the Bind function, entering your local IP and port.
Set Receive Buffer & Set Send Buffer - These functions are used to configure the size of the data send and receive buffers, defaulting to 1024. Generally, no modification is needed unless specifically required.
Listen - This function is only for servers. If your Handler is a Server type, you need to use this function to listen for client connection requests, with parameters for the maximum number of connections.
Connect - Client-specific, if your Handler is a Client type, you need to use this function to connect to the server's bound IP.
Bind Event to On Accept - This server-specific delegate needs to be bound after Listen. When a client requests a connection, the Handler automatically handles acceptance and calls this delegate, returning a server Socket instance for communication with the client.
Bind Event to On Receive Data - This delegate triggers when the Socket receives a message, returning a byte array. You can use the BytesToString function to quickly convert it to a string, or adjust according to your additional needs. For a TCP Server, this delegate needs to be bound to the server Socket communicating with the client, not the initial Socket.
Send Data & Send String - Sends a string of data to the target.
Close - Closes this Socket. Here is a complete example for both a TCP server and a TCP client. Server： Client：
For a UDP protocol, the setup is much simpler since UDP does not require a connection between endpoints, but sends packets directly to the target IP.
Bind - First, bind an IP and port.
Send Data To & Send String To - These nodes are only for UDP, do not confuse them with TCP's Send Data & Send String, just input the IP and port to send.
Bind Event to On Receive Data From - Triggers when the bound IP receives a message, returning an IP and port.
Close - Releases the socket. Below is a complete UDP example.
Other features:
Tick In Editor - Enables network communication within the editor, suitable for editor development work.
Get Address - Retrieves the IP address of the target Handler.
Bind Event to On Connection State Changed - This delegate is called when the Handler's state changes.
Texture Module
Most functions in the texture module operate in BGR8 format. For functions that mandatorily require input channels like R, G, B, A, the Texture2D is first converted to BGRA8 before execution.
Get Texture Channel - Retrieves a specific channel from a Texture2D, creates a new Texture2D with only that channel, and returns it in Gray8 format.
Get Texture Color - Retrieves the color value at a specific position in a Texture2D, returning a Color type.
Set Texture Channel Value - Modifies a specific channel of a Texture2D, setting the entire channel to a single value.
Create Texture From Pixels - Takes an array of colors (from left to right, top to bottom) and the pixel dimensions of the image, returning a constructed Texture2D.
Swap Texture Channel - Swaps two channels in a Texture2D and returns a new Texture2D.
Get Texture Gray - Returns a new Texture2D representing the grayscale image of the input Texture2D. If UseAverage is checked, the grayscale is calculated by averaging; otherwise, it is calculated in a way that is sensitive to human eyes.
Get Texture Colors - Returns an array of colors from left to right, top to bottom.
Get Cursor Pos Color - Returns the color value at the current cursor position (only applicable on Windows platform).
Get Texture Average Color - Calculates the average color of all pixels in a Texture2D.
Get Viewport Pixels - Retrieves an array of pixel colors from the current runtime viewport.
Create Render Target 2D From Texture - Takes a Texture2D and returns a RenderTarget2D.
