You can save any UObject that is represented as an asset within a UPackage using this method: bool SaveToAsset(UObject* ObjectToSave) { UPackage* Package = ObjectToSave->GetPackage(); const FString PackageName = Package->GetName(); const FString PackageFileName = FPackageName::LongPackageNameToFilename(PackageName, FPackageName::GetAssetPackageExtension()); FSavePackageArgs SaveArgs; // This is specified just for example { SaveArgs.TopLevelFlags = RF_Public | RF_Standalone; SaveArgs.SaveFlags = SAVE_NoError; } const bool bSucceeded = UPackage::SavePackage(Package, nullptr, *PackageFileName, SaveArgs); if (!bSucceeded) { UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("Package '%s' wasn't saved!...

There is a std::variant class template in the standard library that is essentially a type-safe  union. It is generally used when we are not sure in advance which object should be populated from our list of object types, so we assume that one of the specified objects must be there at a time. Unreal Engine has an alternative implementation called TVariant that works the same, except that all the types in the declaring template parameter pack must be unique....

Some developers are wondering about the C++ equivalent of the Delay node in Blueprints. There are two ways to implement Delay that are very similar. Use the option that is more readable and convenient for you. Lambas Using FTimerDelegate FTimerDelegate TimerDelegate; TimerDelegate.BindLambda([&] { UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("This text will appear in the console 3 seconds after execution")); }); FTimerHandle TimerHandle; GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(TimerHandle, TimerDelegate, 3, false); Using FTimerHandle only FTimerHandle TimerHandle; GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(TimerHandle, [&]() { UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("This text will appear in the console 3 seconds after execution")); }, 3, false); Separate functions The second way is to use a delay to execute another function....

In this quick tutorial, I will show you how to completely disable Tonemapper without using PostProcess To do this, just open the DefaultEngine.ini file (in the [PROJECT_NAME]/Config folder) and add the following lines to [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] section: r.TonemapperGamma = 0 r.TonemapperFilm = 0 r.Tonemapper.Quality = 0 r.ToneCurveAmount = 0 r.Mobile.TonemapperFilm = 0 r.MobileTonemapperUpscale = 0 r.EyeAdaptationQuality = 0 r.EyeAdaptation.ExponentialTransitionDistance = 0 You can also write the same to the engine’s command line, but I recommend to directly add these lines to a file since it’s more convenient and will always work....

This article may be helpful for those who are familiar with standard containers and would like to learn Unreal-specific ones, or for those who already have a knowledge of the containers but would like to explore them a little deeper. Here is information about the following containers: TArray, TSet, TMap, and a basic overview of the TMultiMap and TSortedMap. TArray Let’s start with TArray. TArray is a dynamically sized array, similar to std::vector in the standard library....
