UBlueprintPathsLibrary::ConvertToSandboxPath
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Rewrites a normal engine or project path into the equivalent path inside Saved/Sandboxes/InSandboxName, used to isolate cooked or intermediate output per platform or configuration.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is an internal cook/build pipeline utility — it's rarely useful in gameplay code and mainly relevant to editor and commandlet tooling.
- • The sandbox name is an arbitrary label (e.g. a platform name) chosen by the caller; passing an unexpected or empty name still succeeds but produces a path under a folder no other system writes to.
- • Pairs with ConvertFromSandboxPath, which performs the inverse transform — the two are not automatically kept in sync if you mutate the path in between.
