Location Marker
BP_SDotUI3_LocationPlace one in any quick teleport location.
Location Name
The name will appear in the floor plan, if names are generally enabled.
Floor ID
The index of the floor drawing the actor should show up in.
Walkable Mesh Tagger
BP_SDotUI3_WalkableTarget / Mouse Move
Meshes that are at the same height as the player is standing on are automatically considered a walkable mesh. Other meshes, like stairs need to be marked. This actor does just that.
Walkable Meshes
Place the blueprint near a meshes that the player should be able to walk on and add it to the array.
Note that this doesn't replace collision. Every Mesh in the scene that is within the players range needs to have a collision.
Cost Group
BP_SDotUI3_CostGroupThis blueprint can add a list of cost items to a sub level. This is to track additional costs by adding a streaming level.

UI Layout Changer
The Layout Changer can remove menu items when the user enters its collision box.Experimental! - This cannot replace the need for a new info map in a new persistent level to load a different interface.
Enter / Exit Data Table
The interface will load the layout defined in the Enter Data Table and then load the interface defined in the Exit Data Table (usually the originally defined layout)
Collision Box Transform
Transforms the yellow collision box
