UBlueprintPathsLibrary::ChangeExtension
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Changes the extension of the given filename. If the file has no extension to begin with, the path is returned unchanged.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Unlike SetExtension, this does nothing when InPath has no existing extension — use SetExtension if you need to guarantee one is applied.
- • InNewExtension works with or without a leading dot, but mixing conventions inconsistently across a codebase makes output hard to predict at a glance.
