Event Tick Usage
Flags expensive work running on Event Tick or other per-frame execution paths.
Rules Overview
Blueprint Health Analyzer currently ships with 13 built-in rules across Blueprint, Material, Asset, Niagara, and Rendering categories. Full visual write-ups are being added rule by rule; until then, each rule page still resolves and shows its current scope and documentation status.
Current Phase 2 status: navigation, placeholder routes, and shared rule
components are wired. Full rule content is Phase 3 work.
Blueprint Rules
Hard Reference Cascade
Detects Blueprint references that load large dependency chains into memory.
Graph Complexity
Surfaces Blueprint graphs whose size and structure are becoming hard to maintain.
Blueprint Cast Chains
Highlights dynamic casts that create fragile dependencies or load-heavy Blueprint chains.
World Query Detection
Detects GetAllActors queries in hot paths such as Tick, loops, and tight timers.
Material Rules
Shader Instruction Budget
Warns when material instruction counts exceed sustainable runtime budgets.
Static Switch Permutations
Tracks static switch explosion and shader permutation growth in materials.
Texture Sample Count
Reports materials whose texture sampling cost is likely to impact frame time.
Asset Rules
Unused Assets
Finds content that appears unreferenced and may be safe to remove or archive.
Texture Health
Checks texture size, mipmaps, compression, and other budget-affecting settings.
Mesh Optimization
Flags mesh assets with LOD, triangle budget, or Nanite configuration problems.
Niagara Rules
Niagara GPU Budget
Highlights Niagara systems whose GPU, collision, or fixed-bounds settings need review.
Rendering Rules
Rendering Settings Audit
Reviews project-wide rendering settings such as Lumen, VSM, and Nanite combinations.
Severity Levels
- Critical: Likely to cause noticeable performance, memory, or shipping-risk issues.
- Warning: Needs review because it can become expensive or hard to maintain at scale.
- Info: Context worth checking, but not usually a blocker.
- Suggestion: Best-practice improvement with lower immediate risk.
Configuration Status
Today, the plugin exposes threshold and scan-scope configuration. Per-rule enable/disable, severity overrides, and persistent allowlists are planned v1.1 work, not shipped behavior yet.
