UKismetStringLibrary::Conv_InputDeviceIdToString

Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast
Description
Converts an FInputDeviceId (identifying a physical input device such as a gamepad) to its string representation. Backs the 'To String (InputDeviceId)' Blueprint conversion node.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • FInputDeviceId identifies a physical device, not a logical player — in local multiplayer with device swapping, the printed ID belongs to the hardware, and you'd need FPlatformUserId to correlate it to a player index.
- • Mainly useful with the newer Enhanced Input / multi-user input APIs; most single-player or legacy-input projects never encounter this type directly.
