UBlueprintPathsLibrary::ConvertRelativePathToFull
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Converts a relative path into a fully qualified absolute path, resolved against InBasePath (or the process base directory if none is given).
Caveats & Gotchas
- • If InBasePath is left empty, the result depends on the process's current base directory (FPlatformProcess::BaseDir()), which differs between the editor, packaged game, and commandlets.
- • Passing an already-absolute InPath returns it largely unchanged rather than erroring.
- • The result is not guaranteed to exist on disk — this is a pure path computation, not a filesystem check.
