UObject::PostInitProperties

function CoreUObject Since 1.0

#include "UObject/Object.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Called after all UPROPERTY fields have been initialized to their default values (from the CDO or inline initializers). Override to perform setup that depends on the initial property values. Called before BeginPlay.

Signature

virtual void PostInitProperties()

Return Type

void

Caveats & Gotchas

• Always call `Super::PostInitProperties()` when overriding.
• Do not assume the object is in a world at this point — GetWorld() may return null.
• For actors, prefer PostInitializeComponents() or BeginPlay() for world-dependent setup.

Example

Using PostInitProperties for derived config C++

void UMyDataAsset::PostInitProperties()
{
    Super::PostInitProperties();
    // Compute derived data from properties set in the asset editor
    ComputedValue = BaseValue * Multiplier;
}
