UKismetSystemLibrary::GetRenderingMaterialQualityLevel

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the clamped state of the r.MaterialQualityLevel console variable: 0=low, 1=high, 2=medium.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The header's own comment lists the values out of numeric order (0: low, 1: high, 2: medium) — double-check against your project's scalability settings rather than assuming ascending quality.
• Cannot be used in construction scripts — flagged UnsafeDuringActorConstruction.
• Useful for selecting between material instances or quality-tiered assets at runtime, but changes to the CVar mid-session require re-querying this.
