Adding custom menus to unreal engine 5 with python

adding custom menus to unreal engine 5 using python is a powerful way to enhance the functionality and usability of your project. in this tutorial, we will cover the basics of how to create and add custom menus using python scripting within unreal engine 5.

### prerequisites

1. **unreal engine 5 installed**: ensure you have unreal engine 5 installed on your computer.
2. **python support**: make sure python scripting is enabled in your unreal engine project. you can enable it from the plugins menu:
- go to `edit` - `plugins`.
- search for "python" and enable the `python editor script plugin` and `python editor script plugin`.

3. **basic python knowledge**: familiarity with python will help you understand the examples.

### steps to create custom menus

1. **create a python script**:
- in your unreal engine project, create a new folder in the content browser (e.g., `pythonscripts`).

### explanation of the code

- **importing unreal module**: we start by importing the `unreal` module which provides the api to interact with unreal engine.


- **creating the menu**: in the `create_menu` method, we:
- check if the menu already exists using `find_menu()`. if it doesn't, we create a new menu using `add_menu()`.
- add a submenu with `add_sub_menu()`.
- add a menu entry that triggers an action with `add_menu_entry()`.

- **binding the action**: we use the `bind_action()` method to associate the action with a custom function (`run_my_custom_action`).

- **defining the action**: the `run_my_custom_action` method logs a message when the action is executed.

- **initialization function**: finally, we define an `initialize_custom_menu` function to crea ...
