Introduction

Branching Boolean is a lightweight editor plugin that simplifies one of the most common Blueprint patterns: checking a boolean variable and branching execution.

Instead of dragging out a Get node, then adding a Branch node, and finally wiring them together—simply right-click any boolean getter and select "Convert to Branch on Boolean".

The plugin creates a clean, single node that combines variable access and conditional branching into one compact package. Your graphs stay organized, your workflow stays fast.

This is an editor-only plugin with zero runtime cost. It has no impact on packaged builds.

Zero Runtime Cost

Editor-only plugin with no impact on packaged builds or game performance

Why Use Branching Boolean?

The standard Blueprint workflow for boolean branching requires three steps:

Drag out a Get node for your boolean variable
Add a Branch node
Connect the boolean output to the Branch condition input

With Branching Boolean, this becomes a single action:

Right-click any boolean getter → Convert to Branch on Boolean

Benefits
