Features

• Easy setup - Simply install and enable, no configuration required.
• Format String - The power of Format Text for non-localized strings.
• Print String Formatted - Print debug strings with built-in formatting of parameters.

Format String

The Format String node is a string-based equivalent to Unreal's built-in Format Text node. It is intended to be used in cases where the flexibility of Format Text is desired without the burden of having to use FText, such as for debug logging. Advantages include:

• The same powerful "{}" argument syntax.
• No casting from Text to String.
• Format string is not localized, so you won't forget to turn it off.
• Supports Enum arguments without having to cast to String.
• Supports Integer64 arguments.

Print String

Print String Formatted offers a convenient experience for printing debug strings with values. It is essentially a Format String and Print String node in one. Simply use the same "{}" syntax to add argument pins.
