Technically, it relies on the Package Registry and you can open edit by right-clicking on EUW_CharacterEditorTools in the Content Browser > Run Editor Utility Widget. This will open the window, shown above.
There you can follow the instructions, mentioned in the two light gray boxes. The main rules to be able to edit a character, are:
- A BP_PackageRegistry is inside the level and has all CDAs loaded.
- A Character with a BP_CharacterCustomization component is selected.
The Character Editor Tools also work with your custom characters.
The Character Editor Tools also work during Play in Editor (PIE) sessions, but the randomization will not update the selected CDAs inside the in-game editor. Currently, the in-game editor has its own set of CDA references and is not connected to the Package Registry, yet.
