UBlackboardComponent::SetValueAsName
#include "BehaviorTree/BlackboardComponent.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Sets the FName value stored under the given blackboard key, notifying any registered observers if the value changed. Preferred over SetValueAsString for fixed identifier sets.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Silently does nothing if KeyName doesn't resolve to a name-type key on the blackboard's data asset.
- • Setting the same name value again does not re-notify observers, since notifications only fire on an actual change.
- • FName comparisons are case-insensitive, so 'Cover' and 'COVER' are treated as identical values by this key type.
