UBlueprintPathsLibrary::SourceConfigDir

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the directory the engine uses to look for the source leaf .ini config files, before they're merged into generated configs. Equivalent to FPaths::SourceConfigDir() exposed for Blueprint/Python.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Distinct from GeneratedConfigDir() — this is the authored source config location, not the merged output the running game actually reads at startup.
• Per the source comment this deliberately can't be driven by an .ini variable itself, since it's needed before any .ini has been loaded.

Signature

Return Type

FString

Example

Locate the source config directory C++

FString SourceConfig = UBlueprintPathsLibrary::SourceConfigDir();
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Source config dir: %s"), *SourceConfig);
