Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Converts the passed-in filename to a fully qualified absolute path on the local file system.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Not marked BlueprintThreadSafe — avoid calling from background threads in Blueprint.
- • The result is only valid on the machine it was generated on; never persist it into save data intended to be portable across machines.
- • Wraps FPaths::ConvertRelativePathToFull, so a relative input is resolved against the current process's base directory.
