UKismetSystemLibrary::ConvertToRelativePath
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Converts the passed-in filename to use a path relative to the current process's base directory.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Not marked BlueprintThreadSafe, unlike most other path helpers in this library — avoid calling it from background threads in Blueprint.
- • "Relative" means relative to FPlatformProcess::BaseDir(), which differs between editor and packaged builds — don't assume the result is relative to the project root.
- • Wraps FPaths::MakePathRelativeTo internally; if the input path isn't under the base directory the result can still be an absolute or oddly-relative path.
