AAIController::GetDebugIcon

function AIModule Since 4.0

#include "AIController.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconstAIMODULE_API

Description

Returns the path to the icon texture used when rendering this AI controller in the in-game AI debug display (`showdebug AI`). Override to return a custom texture path for visual differentiation between AI types.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The default implementation returns the path to the generic AI controller icon. The returned string must be a valid asset reference path (e.g. `/Engine/EditorResources/...`) for the debug renderer to load it.
• This is queried every frame when the AI debug display is active. Avoid expensive string construction — return a static FString if possible.
