Your First Commands

Let's walk through some practical examples to show what ClaudeBridge can do.

1. Explore Your Project​

Start by asking your AI client to explore what's in your project:

"List all actors in the current level"

"Show me the Blueprints in this project"

"What materials are available?"

These read-only commands help you understand your project without making changes.

2. Spawn an Actor​

"Spawn a point light at position (0, 0, 500) with intensity 50000 and yellow color"

The AI will call spawn_light with the appropriate parameters. You'll see the light appear in your viewport instantly.

3. Modify a Blueprint​

"Open BP_MyActor and add a BeginPlay event that prints 'Hello from AI!'"

The AI will:

  1. read_blueprint — Inspect the Blueprint structure
  2. analyze_graph — Check for existing nodes
  3. add_event_node — Add ReceiveBeginPlay (if not present)
  4. add_node (Print) — Add a PrintString node
  5. connect_pins — Wire BeginPlay to PrintString
  6. compile_blueprint — Compile and validate

4. Create a Material​

"Create a red metallic material called M_RedMetal with roughness 0.2"

The AI will:

  1. create_material — Create the base material
  2. create_material_expression — Add VectorParameter for color
  3. create_material_expression — Add ScalarParameter for roughness and metallic
  4. connect_material_expressions — Wire to Base Color, Roughness, Metallic
  5. recompile_material — Compile the material

5. Take a Screenshot​

"Take a screenshot of the current viewport"

The AI calls take_screenshot and saves the image to disk.

6. Use Undo/Redo​

"Undo the last change"

All ClaudeBridge operations integrate with UE's undo system. You can also use begin_transaction / end_transaction to group multiple operations into a single undo step.

Tips for Effective AI Commands​

TipExample
Be specific"Spawn a cube at (100, 200, 50)" instead of "add something"
Name your assets"Create material M_GlowBlue" instead of "create a material"
Ask to inspect first"Read the Blueprint BP_Player before making changes"
Use undo transactions"Group the next operations as a single undo step"
Compile after changes"Compile the Blueprint when done"
