UBlueprintPathsLibrary::LaunchDir
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the directory the application was launched from — useful for command-line utilities and tools that need to resolve paths relative to where the executable was invoked, as opposed to where its binaries live.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This is the launch working directory, not the engine or project root — for those, use EngineDir() or ProjectDir() respectively.
- • Rarely useful in a packaged game launched by a platform's shell/launcher (the value may be a temp or system directory); it's primarily relevant for editor and commandlet tooling invoked from a terminal.
