Scooter Utilities Overview

An overview of Scooter Utilities, a collection of quality-of-life editor tools and Blueprint nodes for Unreal Engine.

Scooter Utilities is an Unreal Engine plugin that bundles essential quality-of-life tools for artists and developers. Quickly navigate to your project on disk, restart the editor with a single click, and keep important settings persistent between editor sessions.

Think of it as a Swiss Army Knife of tools that make Unreal Engine a bit quicker to use, especially if you're creating and maintaining several projects. If there's something you find yourself turning on or resetting every time you open a project, it might be a good candidate for Scooter Utilities, so feel free to make a suggestion.

Features

• A toolbar dropdown button in the Level Editor for quick access to plugin tools and settings.
• Restart the editor from the File menu or the toolbar, with no hunting for your .uproject file.
• A customizable hotkey for restarting the editor (default: Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R).
• Open your project folder in your file browser with one click.
• Adjust the editor interface scale for comfortable viewing or presentations, and keep it across every project.
• Set a persistent maximum FPS that survives editor restarts.
• Keep the viewport FPS display enabled across sessions.
• Blueprint nodes for JSON, file IO, config access, debug logging, Blueprint reflection, and placeholder text.

Supported Engine Versions

Scooter Utilities supports Unreal Engine 5.5 through 5.8 on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Blueprint node library also runs on Android.
