UBlueprintPathsLibrary::EnginePluginsDir

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the directory containing engine-level plugins, i.e. plugins shipped with the engine install rather than added to a specific project. Use ProjectPluginsDir() for plugins local to the current project.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only covers plugins under the engine's Plugins/ tree — project-local plugins under <Project>/Plugins live under ProjectPluginsDir() instead, and marketplace/vault plugins may live elsewhere depending on install method.
• This returns a directory path, not a list of installed plugins — use the plugin manager APIs (IPluginManager) if you need to enumerate or query plugin metadata.
