UKismetSystemLibrary::SetColorPropertyByName

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Sets a named FColor 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.
  • Verifies the found FStructProperty's Struct pointer matches TBaseStructure<FColor>::Get() before writing, so a same-named property of a different struct type (e.g. FLinearColor) is silently skipped instead of corrupting memory.
