UKismetStringLibrary::BuildString_Name

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Builds a new string in the form AppendTo+Prefix+InName+Suffix, inserting the name's string representation between the prefix and suffix.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • FName comparisons are case-insensitive internally, but the ToString() used here preserves the original casing the FName was created with.
  • Converting an FName to FString allocates memory on every call; avoid doing this every tick for names that don't change.
