UKismetSystemLibrary::QuitEditor
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Closes the Unreal Editor application. Intended for editor utility Blueprints and scripted tooling, not runtime gameplay.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Only compiled in editor builds (guarded by WITH_EDITOR) — calling this from a packaged game Blueprint node is impossible since the function does not exist outside the editor.
- • Closes the editor immediately without prompting to save unsaved levels or assets, so scripted callers should save explicitly first.
- • Has no effect in Play-In-Editor sessions on the running game instance — it targets the editor process itself, not the PIE world.
