UAttributeSet::ShouldInitProperty

function GameplayAbilities Since unknown

#include "AttributeSet.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Override to opt specific properties out of the default initialization pass an AttributeSet runs when it's constructed or reset.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Default implementation returns true for every property, so overriding is opt-in and only needed when you want to skip specific attributes.
• Called for every reflected property during init, not just FGameplayAttributeData ones, so check PropertyToInit before rejecting anything.
