UBlueprintPathsLibrary::EngineUserDir
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the root directory for user-specific engine files that is always writable, regardless of where the engine itself is installed. Useful for caching or scratch data tied to this engine install and user.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Distinct from EngineVersionAgnosticUserDir() — this path is specific to the current engine version, so data written here won't be visible after an engine upgrade; use the version-agnostic variant if that matters.
- • Always writable is a guarantee about this specific directory, unlike EngineDir() which may be read-only in an installed-build scenario.
