Input (C++)

The plugin defines its own IMC subclass and registers it on world match start. Per-cheat hotkeys reuse standard UInputAction assets through each cheat script's InputAction property.

UCLASS()
class BLUEPRINTCHEATS_API UBlueprintCheatsInputMappingContext : public UInputMappingContext

    UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, Category="Bindings")
    TSoftObjectPtr<UInputAction> MenuHotkey;
};

MenuHotkey

The input action that opens / closes the cheat overlay. The subsystem binds this on ETriggerEvent::Triggered:

InputComp->BindAction(InputContext->MenuHotkey.Get(),
                      ETriggerEvent::Triggered,
                      this,
                      &UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::OnMenuKeyTriggered);

The shipped default IMC is /BlueprintCheats/Input/IMC_BlueprintCheats_Default with IA_BlueprintCheats_Menu as its MenuHotkey. Configure your own IMC by creating a Blueprint Cheats Input Mapping Context asset and pointing UBlueprintCheatsSettings::InputMappingContext at it.

How the IMC is registered

In UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::OnWorldMatchStarted:

#if !PLATFORM_MOBILE
if (UEnhancedInputComponent* InputComp = Cast<UEnhancedInputComponent>(PlayerController->InputComponent))
{
    if (UBlueprintCheatsInputMappingContext* InputContext = Settings->InputMappingContext.LoadSynchronous())
    {
        InputSubsystem->AddMappingContext(InputContext, /*Priority*/ 0);
        InputComp->BindAction(InputContext->MenuHotkey.Get(),
                              ETriggerEvent::Triggered,
                              this,
                              &UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::OnMenuKeyTriggered);
    }
}
#endif

This happens once per world match start, scoped to the local player's controller. The mobile gate skips the bind entirely.

Per-cheat hotkeys

UBlueprintCheatScript::InputAction is the per-cheat hotkey field. Bound by UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::EnableScript_Internal:

if (TObjectPtr<UInputAction> ScriptAction = CurrentScript->GetInputAction())
{
    InputComp->BindAction(ScriptAction, ETriggerEvent::Triggered, this,
                          &UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::OnInputTriggeredScript, ScriptIndex);

    if (CurrentScript->ContinueExecutingWithOngoingKeyPress())
    {
        InputComp->BindAction(ScriptAction, ETriggerEvent::Ongoing, this,
                              &UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::OnInputTriggeredScript, ScriptIndex);
    }
}

OnInputTriggeredScript calls ExecuteScriptFromConsole with an empty TArray<FString>. Cheats meant for hotkeys must therefore either declare zero arguments, or default every argument (TOptional<T> DefaultValue populated, or bOptional = true).

GetInputAction is virtual on UBlueprintCheatScript. Override it to vary the bound action at runtime (e.g. swapping per platform).

Mobile

PLATFORM_MOBILE (iOS / Android) skips both:

• the menu IMC registration and MenuHotkey bind, and
• per-cheat InputAction binds.

Console commands and UBlueprintCheatsSubsystem::ExecuteScript still work on mobile. To surface the overlay on mobile, build a custom trigger (debug button, gesture, etc.) and call into the subsystem directly.

Sample assets

• IA_BlueprintCheats_Menu — toggles the overlay.
• IA_BlueprintCheats_ResetLevel — example per-cheat hotkey.
• IMC_BlueprintCheats_Default — wires both actions to default keys.
