UBlueprintPathsLibrary::MakePathRelativeTo
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Rewrites InPath so that it is expressed relative to InRelativeTo, assuming both paths share the same base directory.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Both paths must be relative to the same base directory (or both absolute) — mixing a relative and an absolute path gives wrong results.
- • Returns false if the conversion couldn't be performed, but OutPath may still have been written to in that case, so check the return value.
- • InRelativeTo is typically a directory, not a file; passing a file path as the base produces an off-by-one-directory result.
