Why I Built This

Unreal Engine’s built-in class wizard means booting the editor just to create a couple of files — on a large project that can mean waiting several minutes before you’ve written a single line of code.

Beyond the wait, I wanted the generated files to actually reflect how my team writes code: a consistent include ordering, a clean file header, and a structure we’d agreed on — not the engine’s generic default. And I wanted that style to be configurable per project rather than hardcoded, so different projects or teams could have their own conventions without maintaining a fork.

The result is a standalone tool that stays open alongside the editor, lets you search the full class hierarchy instantly, and writes files exactly the way your project expects them.

Features

• Fast as-you-type search — filters the full engine and project class index instantly, matching on both class name and parent class name
• Inheritance context — selecting a class shows its full ancestry chain and direct subclasses; every entry is clickable to navigate the hierarchy
• Common classes pinned — when search is empty, the classes you reach for most (AActor, ACharacter, UActorComponent, UObject, etc.) appear at the top
• Mustache templates — generates .h + .cpp pairs with correct #include paths, UCLASS(), GENERATED_BODY(), and module-aware include ordering; drop custom templates into {ProjectDir}/build/ClassCreator/ to override defaults per project
• Smart Public/Private routing — automatically places .h in Public and .cpp in Private based on whichever branch you pick as the output path
• Automatic engine and project discovery — resolves installed and source-built engines from the registry and LauncherInstalled.dat; scans your project’s Source/ and Plugins/ directories alongside the engine
• Standalone class/struct creation — create a plain C++ class or struct with no parent when you need one
• Fully offline — no network dependency beyond the optional update check
