UKismetTextLibrary::TextFromStringTable
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Attempts to create a text instance from a string table ID and key, looked up programmatically at runtime.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • The header explicitly recommends against this for most cases: setting a string table reference directly on a text property or pin (via 'Make Literal Text') is more robust than looking it up dynamically by ID.
- • Displayed in Blueprint as 'Make Text from String Table (Advanced)' — the 'Advanced' suffix signals this is an escape hatch, not the normal workflow.
- • Returns a dummy/fallback text rather than throwing if the table ID or key doesn't resolve, so a typo in either string fails silently at runtime.
