“Dummying” translates to “Getting the exact game file path and naming”.

This is a way to modify existing entities or execute a script to them.

Let’s dummy the entity “Hound” dummying variables is in FMODEL — Finding Class & Variables


For this tutorial, we will not use Learning to Mod: “Ingame viewing Entity Class”. we will try a different approach, using common names.


Getting the Entity Class

if you played the game enough times, you will start to get used to entity names. You can alternativelly use Wiki to find entities names and assume it’s the same in source. https://escapethebackrooms.fandom.com/wiki/Hound

Now, we can use FModel to find anything related to it. Notice, we will be getting it’s Class. See Reference x Class

  1. Select “EscapeTheBackrooms-WindowsNoEditor.pak”

  2. Then, we get put inside this file.

  4. We search for “Hound” this is a Key-Word we are using

  5. With the previous course of Blueprint (BP), we have to find a file that starts with “BP_

    notice theres two “BP_”, both are usefull.

    notice theres two “BP_”, both are usefull.

  6. we now dummy it’s path and name. we copy contents and mimic it in our Unreal Project. Do not put “.uasset

    Video.mp4

    we will mimic /Entity/Hound/BP_Hound location.

Now what?

Now that this is done, you can reference this blueprint in your Visual Scripting Graph.

Go back to your MainBlueprint (Defaulted as “BP_MainAnyName”) Searching for “Hound” will not show anything usefull, You have to spawn, find or cast it.
