Quick Actions feature is created to give the users the ability to trigger manually anything in Unreal Engine from the smartphone’s UI. The user needs to define the desired actions in Unreal Engine and bind them to custom events inside of any blueprint. That way the Quick Actions act as global event triggers that are controlled from the smartphone's UI or the Control Panel.
From within the CameraTwin Control Panel, the user can manage all Quick Actions.
After the user has defined some Quick Actions, the user can bind any custom event from within any blueprint to specific Quick Actions. To do that, the user can:
Inside any Blueprint, press Tab and start typing Bind Quick Action Event
After placing the Bind Quick Action Event node
Click and drag with the mouse from the red delegate slot of the node to empty space
Type Custom Event
Place the custom event node and rename it according to the action that will be triggered, this is not related to the name of the Quick Action.
In the Bind Quick Action Event node, there is drop down where the user can select the Quick Action that will trigger the custom event
Finally trigger the Bind Quick Action Event by another custom event or any other way that fits the project’s needs
