This stream was basically me getting back into the zone after OBS randomly decided to nuke the broadcast. Once I was live again, I jumped straight into my “better debug” Unreal plugin—my goal is to make print strings and debug drawing way faster and less annoying than the default workflow. I’m building a setup where I can right-click, drop a Better Print node, pick a preset (big text, colors, screen + log), and stop redoing the same append/key/color boilerplate every single time. A big chunk of the session was me wrestling with how to handle global-ish debug categories (so I can enable/disable groups of prints at runtime via a global widget). I tested using inline static variables, confirmed it compiles, and verified the category toggle actually stops prints. Then I started sketching the next steps: shifting from booleans to something like an indexed array, adding nicer helpers like Print Float with controlled fractional digits, and eventually supporting richer debug features—array printing, presets, constant draw debug around actors, maybe even an inspector-style widget where clicking an actor shows selected variables. Along the way I also answered Unreal questions (like merging static mesh actors and material slot behavior) and shared my honest tooling opinions: Rider is my go-to for Unreal, Visual Studio feels clunky to me, and I’m currently testing Codium as an in-IDE assistant.
