Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns A if bPickA is true, otherwise returns B. Selects between two linear colours without a branch node, suitable for material parameter or UI tinting logic.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Works with FLinearColor (HDR, linear space), not FColor (8-bit sRGB). If you need to select between FColor values, convert to FLinearColor first or use a ternary in C++.
- • Alpha is included in the selection — both RGB and A components of the chosen colour are returned as-is with no clamping.
