Description

The Python Toolbar Button & Menu Creator is an editor plugin that allows you to add and extend the Unreal Editor toolbar and main menu to expose and execute your python functions. It uses a path-based syntax to specify a hierarchy of sub-menus and menu-items so developers can focus on the core functionality of their python-based plugins without worrying about how to expose it to the Unreal Editor.

Here’s an example of how to add a button to the Level Editor’s toolbar with a menu-item and submenu.

Create a singular parent menu:

imgspc.make_menu_item(menu_path=’Menu Title’, icon_path=’MyPlugin/Icons/ToolbarIcon.png’)

Create a menu-item that executes the provided callback when clicked:

imgspc.make_menu_item(menu_path=’Menu Title/Menu Item 1′, callback=’client_script.sample_callback1()’)

Create a nested sub-menu and menu-item with the provided icon:

imgspc.make_menu_item(menu_path=’Menu Title/Submenu/Menu Item 2′, callback=’client_script.sample_callback2()’, icon_path=’MyPlugin/Icons/MenuItemIcon.png’”, tooltip=’Another sample callback’)
