* Increased grabbing height in MoveToLocation macro. Height Location subtracts now 107 instead of 120. (Is this somewhat related to character's capsule height?)

* With increase grabbing height the [[Oni2:UnrealOni/Tutorials#Editing_an_animation_for_offset_corrections|character comes out to high]]. As consequence Climb_Montage uses for now ClimbAdjTest and Crouch_to_StandClimbAdjTest. The latter makes Z start at 0 and goes down -60. The -60 is not fully taken into account, however it avoid a camera glitch that would be appear between 0 and -40.

'''Things that can be automated'''
Objects: Within Blender Python can be used to generate series of objects differing in color, material and what not.
Export: export settings can be called from script.
Import: Python works also with the Unreal editor...
* import per se
* class creation
Placement: Python can place assets into a level.

Note of warning: Unreal Engine gets updates on a regular basis. To have always the most and up-to-date features available one would need to transfer own code from an old engine to the new one.
