Heart Graph Plugin

A generic runtime node graph editor and viewer for Unreal Engine. Supports versions 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.

Modules

Heart

The core of HeartGraph. Defines the core types used to build a graph: UHeartGraph, UHeartGraphNode, and UHeartGraphSchema, as well as a registry subsystem that ties them together.

Blood

What flows through a heart? Blood, of course. Blood is the data shuttler for heart graphs, a variant data type system, designed for interoperability with FProperties, as well as quick, efficient access from both c++ and BP.

HeartCore

Underlying math utilities, and generic UI classes that aren't specifically for HeartGraph, but kept here to avoid dependencies on another plugin. At some point, I might move some or all of this to a seperate plugin if it becomes too much.

HeartCore implements a custom system for managing UI input, inspired mostly by UE's new EnhancedInput, that centralizes input definition into a single asset, UHeartWidgetInputBindingAsset, that functions much like an InputMappingContext. Currently this system requires some c++ boilerplate to add it to custom widget types, but is implemented out-of-the-box for any HeartGraph widget.

HeartCanvas

A toolset for displaying and editing a UHeartGraph using entirely UMG widgets. Essentially meant to replicate unreal's native UEdGraph editor, except with far more customization, to tailor the graph's appearance and behavior to the needs of the project.

HeartScene

An alternative visualization method using scene components, allowing for full 3D graph visualizers.

HeartEditor

A (currently WIP) asset authoring tool for Heart graphs using Unreal's native UEdGraph toolset. Such a workflow allows for creating a graph inside the Unreal Engine Editor, and viewing it using HeartCanvas at runtime (such as a perk tree).

Engine Plugin Dependencies

AssetSearch

I want to implement an asset search feature similar to Flow Graph's implementation. Not implemented yet...

GameplayTagsEditor

A "plugin dependency" by a technicality. I don't know why the main module is part of core engine, but this module isn't. Anyway.

StructUtils

FInstancedStruct is used for implementing FBloodValue.

Planned Dependencies

UMG Viewmodel

Compatibility

CommonUI

HeartCanvas specifically doesn't use CommonUI, as it's methods for defining UI input are not to my liking. However, using most CommonUI components for building Canvas widgets still works.
