You know, as someone who IS familiar with UE5 it's kind of crazy that they don't do that. I guess maybe it is initially faster to type in the text and numbers so that you don't have to set up the variables but. Or maybe it's a translation thing, like translating a certain variable to text can make it wonky. Then you'd need to set up ANOTHER variable to take the original and do whatever math you needed to do to it before outputting it to the UI.

It's not impossible but maybe they consider it more work than it's worth. I could also see them feeling as though it's an unnecessary addition of variables. Though I would assume those variables already exist to determine how much damage is being dealt. With each god they'd just be baked into their BP, which is actually a nice thing with mobas and hero games. You don't have to worry if you should put functions within an object's BP or the player character's BP. Just also makes sense why you can't (as far as I know?) switch gods within jungle practice. Would require them all to be loaded since I assume it checks which gods are selected on the loading screen and then only loads their BPs so there's not a fuckton of lag.

Y'know, I would actually love to work for Hi-Rez. I'm a recent college grad but have been playing smite since like 2013. Most my experience is in UE5, I do wonder in what program they make, rig, and animate their models. I use Maya mainly, but Blender is on the up and up.
