How to see, looking at a variable, where has it been promoted from?

2

Hello,

You can right-click on a variable in a Blueprint and then select “Find References” to see every instance that the variable is called or set. I hope that this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hello ,

But if I remove every SET instance, I’m left with a variable — and I can’t see where it was promoted from. Especially, if it isn’t named adequately.
For example: I promoted Actor Rotation > Break Rot > “Yaw” parameter to float, named it “Var1”, and removed Break Rot altogether.

Thanks

Control + F, then type in Var1. Or type in Promote.

Yeah, but how would I know in a month what that Var1 stands for? :slight_smile:

Instead of promote to variable, how about just creating a variable and then having the place where it would be Promoted just Set the variable you already have?
