Description

Branching Boolean is a lightweight editor plugin that simplifies one of the most common Blueprint patterns: checking a boolean variable and branching execution. Instead of dragging out a Get node, then adding a Branch node, and finally wiring them together—simply right-click any boolean getter and select "Convert to Branch on Boolean".

The plugin creates a clean, single node that combines variable access and conditional branching into one compact package. Your graphs stay organized, your workflow stays fast.

Features

- One-Click Conversion — Right-click any boolean variable getter and instantly convert it to a Branch on Boolean node

- Clean Single Node — Replaces the common Get → Branch pattern with one streamlined node

- Smart Variable Selection — Dropdown in the Details Panel lets you select from all available boolean variables (member, local, and inherited)

- Automatic Rename Tracking — Node titles update automatically when you rename variables

- Native Integration — Appears in the right-click context menu alongside built-in options

- Zero Runtime Cost — Editor-only plugin with no impact on packaged builds

How It Works

1. Create a boolean variable getter in your Blueprint

2. Right-click the node

3. Select "Convert to Branch on Boolean"

4. Done! A single node now handles both the variable read and the branch

The resulting node displays the variable name in its title (e.g., "Branch on bIsAlive") and provides True/False execution outputs—just like a standard Branch node, but without the extra wiring.

Why Use Branching Boolean?

- Cleaner Graphs — Reduce node count and eliminate spaghetti wires

- Faster Iteration — Skip the repetitive Get → Branch → Wire workflow

- Better Readability — Node titles clearly show which variable controls the branch

- Familiar UX — Works exactly like you'd expect from native Blueprint nodes
