UBlueprintPathsLibrary::EngineVersionAgnosticUserDir
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the root directory for user-specific engine files that is shared across engine versions, unlike EngineUserDir(). Useful for caching data (e.g. derived data, editor preferences) that should survive an engine upgrade.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Because this path is shared across engine versions, cached data written here must remain forward/backward compatible or include its own versioning — the engine will not isolate it for you the way EngineUserDir() does.
- • Always writable, like EngineUserDir(), but do not assume the directory contents are exclusive to any single project or engine build.
