Unreal

Reading the official Python API docs

For Python in Unreal start with the official docs,
e.g. to get all actors in Unreal:

  • I can use the EditorLevelLibrary docs
  • The docs tell me that the get_all_level_actors() method returns an array of Actors. So I go check out the docs for Actor.
  • The docs for Actor show I can run a get_name() method
    import unreal
actors = unreal.EditorLevelLibrary.get_all_level_actors()
actor_names = [x.get_name() for x in actors]

    It’s recommended to start experimenting line by line, in the Unreal Python console, and just print the results.
