UKismetStringLibrary::GetSubstring
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Returns a substring from SourceString starting at StartIndex and spanning Length characters.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • StartIndex and Length are silently clamped to the valid range rather than asserting, so out-of-range values return a truncated or empty string instead of an error.
- • Length defaults to 1, so forgetting to set it returns only a single character — easy to miss since the default isn't visible on a collapsed Blueprint node.
