AGameModeBase::GetGameSessionClass

function Engine Since 4.14

#include "GameFramework/GameModeBase.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualENGINE_API

Description

Returns the AGameSession subclass to spawn for this game mode. Override to supply a custom session class without changing the GameSessionClass property.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a virtual override point — the default implementation just returns GameSessionClass. If you set GameSessionClass directly and also override this function, the override wins.
• Called very early in InitGame(), before most actors exist. Avoid doing heavy logic here; just return the class.
