CANIMNODEEDITORUMODULE

Overview

The CANIMNODEEDITORUMODULE is an editor-only module that provides the foundation for creating custom Animation Blueprint nodes. It extends the Unreal Engine Animation Graph editor with project-specific node types.

This module is not packaged in shipping builds (WITH_EDITOR only).

Functionalities	Overview
Custom Anim Nodes	Framework for registering and displaying custom Animation Blueprint graph nodes (Node/V1)
Blueprint Library	Reserved `UCAnimNodeBPLibrary` class (editor-only, currently empty)

Dependencies

Module	Purpose
CdryxCoreUModule	Core framework utilities and interfaces
CdryxCharUModule	Character module (animation data structures)
AnimGraph / AnimGraphRuntime	Unreal animation graph and runtime support
BlueprintGraph / UnrealEd	Editor graph and tooling infrastructure
AnimationBlueprintEditor	Animation Blueprint editor integration

C++ API

This module does not expose public C++ utility functions. It serves as a structural entry point for custom animation node registration.

Blueprint

UCAnimNodeBPLibrary is declared but intentionally empty. Custom animation nodes are editor-only and are not available in shipping builds.
