UKismetSystemLibrary::SetBytePropertyByName
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Sets a named uint8 property on Object to Value via reflection. Internal helper the Blueprint compiler generates for dynamic property-set nodes; not intended to be called directly.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Marked BlueprintInternalUseOnly, so it never appears in the Blueprint node picker — the compiler emits a call to it automatically when a Blueprint node writes to this property type by name; you can't drag it onto a graph directly.
- • Handles two distinct property kinds: a plain FByteProperty, or a byte-backed FEnumProperty (UENUM) — in the enum case Value is written through the enum's underlying numeric property, so it must be a valid enumerator value.
- • If PropertyName resolves to neither a byte property nor an enum property, the call silently does nothing.
