Align nodes and straighten out connections with no functional changes. I want to change some things in follow-up commits, so performing these cosmetic changes upfront should stop node shuffling in the follow-ups. Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <[email protected]>
There is no need to perform the CDO edit every time a game world gets loaded. Doing it once from a game instance module is enough since the CDO is kept loaded. Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <[email protected]>
The "Get Class Default Object" node is pure, so it will be evaluated every time its output value is needed. As its return value is stored in a variable anyway (to stop the CDO from being garbage collected), we might as well use the value from the variable instead. Because "Get Class Default Object" prints a warning when accessing a CDO of a class owned by another plugin, evaluating it twice resulted in the warning being printed twice. This should no longer happen. Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <[email protected]>
When dynamically spawning resource nodes, if the node mesh to use for a resource was unknown, the code would fall back to the conveyor mesh and scale it up. However, this can result in very tall resource nodes which causes problems when trying to place a miner on them. Instead, scatter some instances of the conveyor mesh around the area. This uses an instanced static mesh, which will work with any conveyor mesh (conveyors use instanced static meshes to render items). Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <[email protected]>
Add a custom resource to ExampleMod. This is done to showcase how to use sublevels to add resource nodes to an existing level. Signed-off-by: Angel Pons <[email protected]>

Looks good so far. I am locally having issues opening the level in the editor, but it's connected to the Wwise stuff and not this PR. Could you also add a few instances of the example resource node in the main game world, maybe 1 in each base-game starting location? That's a common ask on the discord for custom resources. |

Add a custom resource with a resource node. Add this resource node to the world using sublevels (level instances).
Also fix a few things about the CDO edit example since it was getting a bit in the way of the sublevel spawning thing.
