registry in unreal engine
How assets are discovered by the editor and how to make it know more
about asset types before they are loaded
Asset Registry is an editor subsystem; The Content Browser is the
primary consumer
FAssetRegistryModule& AssetRegistryModule = FModuleManager::LoadModuleChecked<FAssetRegistryModule>("AssetRegistry");
Obtaining a List of Assets:
AssetRegistryModule.Get().GetAssetsByClass()
GetAssetsByPackageName/GetAssetsByPath/GetAssetByObjectPath/GetAssetsByTagValues/GetAllAssets
Converting FAssetData to UObject*: GetAsset() will load asset
Creating a Filter: FARFilter
Tags and Values: FAssetData::TagsAndValues - AssetRegistrySearchable
+ virtual GetAssetRegistryTags
Asynchronous Data Gathering
The LoadModule() call will block until the gather is complete

asset loading in unreal engine - {engine, assets}
FSoftObjectPath: contains a string with the full name of an
asset
TSoftObjectPtr: TWeakObjectPtr + FSoftObjectPath
The Asset Registry
AssetRegistrySearchable tag: To make data about an asset
searchable
Queries to the asset registry return objects of type FAssetData
UObjectLibrary: contains a list of either loaded objects or
FAssetData for unloaded objects
StreamableManager and Asynchronous Loading
FStreamableManager: suggest putting it in some sort of global game
singleton object
use RequestAsyncLoad
StreamableManager keeps hard references to any assets it loads until
the delegate is called
It releases those references after the delegate is called: so you
need to hard reference them somewhere else if you want to ensure they
will stay around

Variables: color-coded
Execution Flow: the first node to execute is an event
execution flows through the white execution wire from left to
right
Nodes with execution pins (impure nodes) store the values of their
output pins when they execute
while nodes without execution pins (pure nodes) reevaluate their
outputs every time a node connected to their outputs executes

blend
gameplay animation to cinematic animation in unreal engine
blend gameplay animation to or from animation inside your Level
Sequence. Typically this is done to create seamless transitions into and
out of a cinematic, which includes blending both the player animation
and the player camera
Normally when animating characters in Sequencer, the Animation Mode
property automatically changes to Use Custom Mode. Custom Mode is a
special Sequencer-specific Animation Blueprint, different from the one
used to animate the player in gameplay. In order to blend characters
between Sequencer to Gameplay, you cannot use Custom Mode, and must
instead use the same Animation Blueprint the character uses in
gameplay
When animating characters in Sequencer using their Animation
Blueprint, you must ensure that Animation Blueprint contains Slots,
which provide a way to inject animation into the Anim Graph. Although
mainly used to play animations from Montages, you can also use Slots to
play animation from Sequencer.
Slots are stored on the Skeleton
create a blend out region at the end of the animation

best practices in unreal engine
Level Blueprints vs. Blueprint Classes: UE3’s Kismet - prefer
Blueprint classes
Class Variables vs. Local Variables: prefer local variables if
applicable
Functions vs. Macros:
you can place latent nodes in a macro, but not in a function
you can have multiple execution wires in and out of a macro

communication usage in unreal engine - {bp}
Direct Blueprint Communication (+ Casts): reference to the target
Blueprint+call. Same Level or Highler->Lower levels
Event Dispatchers (delegates): suited for telling other “listening”
Blueprints that an event has happened. Lower->Higher levels
Blueprint Interfaces: interacting with multiple types of objects
that all share some specific functionality
blueprint

blueprints
visual scripting editor user interace for data only blueprints in unreal
engine
Data-Only Blueprint is a Blueprint Class that contains only the
code, variables, and components inherited from its parent
These are essentially a replacement for archetypes
allow those inherited properties to be tweaked and modified, but no
new elements can be added
can be converted to class blueprint
blueprints
visual scripting editor user interface for blueprint interfaces in
unreal engine
Blueprint Interface is a collection of one or more functions - name
only, no implementation
Editor UI is similar to that of a Blueprint Class Editor UI
blueprints
visual scripting editor user interface for level blueprints in unreal
engine
Level Blueprint is a specialized type of Blueprint that acts as a
level-wide global event graph
blueprints
visual scripting editor user interface for macro libraries in unreal
engine
Blueprint Macro Library is a container that holds a collection of
Macros or self-contained graphs that can be placed as nodes in other
Blueprints
Macros are shared among all graphs that reference them, but they are
auto-expanded into graphs
changes to a Macro are only reflected in graphs that reference that
Macro when the Blueprint containing those graphs is recompiled

compiler
overview for blueprints visual scripting in unreal engine
FKismetCompilerContext : The class that does the work of
compilation. A new instance is spawned for each compile
FKismetFunctionContext : Holds the information for compiling a
single function
FKismetCompiledStatement : Unit of work in the compiler. The
compiler translates nodes into a set of compiled statements, which the
backend translates into bytecode operations
FKismetTerm : A terminal in the graph (literal, const, or variable
reference)
You can also make your own terms in a NodeHandlingFunctor for
scratch variables, intermediate results, etc
Clean the Class: CleanAndSanitizeClass(), reset
UBlueprintGeneratedClass
Create Class Properties: creates UProperties on the UClass’s scope;
CreateClassVariablesFromBlueprint()
Create Function List: PrecompileFunction()
Process Event Graphs:
CreateAndProcessUberGraph()/FKismetFunctionContext
Process Function Graphs:
ProcessOneFunctionGraph()/FKismetFunctionContext
Pre-compile Functions: PrecompileFunction()
Bind and Link the Class: compiler is aware of all of the UProperties
and UFunctions for the class + Class Default Object (CDO)
Compile Functions: Compile()
Finish Compiling Class
Backend Emits Generated Code: FKismetCompilerVMBackend - Converts
FKCS to UnrealScript VM bytecode which are then serialized into the
function’s script array
Copy Class Default Object Properties
Re-instance: re-instance all objects with the class that were just
compiled; uses a TObjectIterator to find all instances of the class,
spawn a new one/etc.

Creating / Registering a Console Variable:
TAutoConsoleVariable<int32>/EConsoleVariableFlags
IConsoleManager::Get() is the global access point
FAutoConsoleVariableRef
Getting the State of a Console Variable: GetValueOnGameThread(),
IConsoleManager::Get().FindConsoleVariable()
How to Track Console Variable Changes: FAutoConsoleVariableSink /
.AsVariable()->SetOnChangedCallback
Intended Console Variable Behavior and Style:
Console variable should reflect the user input, not necessarily the
state of the system
The variable state should not be changed by code
Most console variables are intended for development only so
specifying the ECVF_Cheat flag early would be a good idea
DumpConsoleCommands / Help – list/dump variables

redirects in unreal engine - {engine}
Core Redirects enable remapping classes, enums, functions, packages,
properties, and structs at load time
[CoreRedirects]
When specifying a name of a class or struct in an Core Redirect, the
name should be written as it appears to the Unreal Engine’s reflection
system, meaning the prefix letter is dropped. For example, AMyActor
would be written as MyActor
ClassRedirects - Changes objects and properties using an obsolete
(or removed) UCLASS to refer to a new UCLASS
EnumRedirects - Remaps obsolete UENUM types and/or obsolete values
within an enumerated type.
FunctionRedirects - Remaps an obsolete UFUNCTION to a new one.
PackageRedirects - Remapping from one package to another, or
suppressing warnings about references to a deleted package (references
will be cleared or set to null)
PropertyRedirects - Remaps removed properties to new
properties.
StructRedirects - Changes properties using an obsolete (or removed)
USTRUCT to refer to a new USTRUCT.

Optional parameters are handled well in Blueprints
Favor functions with lots of return parameters over functions that
return structs
Adding new parameters to an existing function is fine, but if you
need to remove or change them, you should deprecate the original and add
a new function
If a function needs to take an enum, consider using the ‘expand enum
as execs’
operations that take time to complete (e.g. move here) should be
latent functions
mark nodes as pure if possible, as this will avoid needing an
execution pin on a node that requires wiring
Marking a function as const will also cause the Blueprint node to
not have execution pins
if you’re doing something that requires a lot of calculations, or
operates at a high frequency, it might be better to use C++ instead of
Blueprints
exposing
gameplay elements to blueprints visual scripting in unreal engine
Making Classes Blueprintable - UCLASS(Blueprintable): Exposes this
class as an acceptable base class for creating Blueprints
BlueprintType: Exposes this class as a type that can be used for
variables in Blueprints
NotBlueprintable: Negates the effect of a parent class having the
Blueprintable keyword specified
Readable and Writable Properties:
BlueprintReadOnly/BlueprintReadWrite/BlueprintAssignable (for Multicast
Delegate)
To make a parameter pass by reference and still display as an input,
use the UPARAM(ref) macro
use UPARAM() to change the display name of a pin
BlueprintCallable: native function that can be called from a
Blueprint
BlueprintPure: BlueprintCallable without side effects
BlueprintImplementableEvent: primary way we allow native functions
to call up into Blueprints

classes in unreal engine
Classes in Unreal Engine have a standardized naming scheme
“A” - AActor - Extends from the base class of spawnable gameplay
objects. These are Actors, and can be spawned directly into the
world.
“U” - UComponent - Extend from the base class of all gameplay
objects. These are generally objects like Components
C++ Class Wizard/Class Headers with
#include "ClassName.generated.h"
Class Declaration: UCLASS/GENERATED_BODY()
Class Specifiers: Abstract/etc.
Metadata Specifiers: BlueprintSpawnableComponent/etc.
Some constructors may be located in a special “constructors” file on
a per-module basis. For example, the AActor::AActor constructor may be
found in EngineConstructors.cpp. This is the result of an automatic
conversion process from the previous use of a DEFAULTS block to the use
of constructors.
It is also possible to place the constructor inline in the class
header file. However, if the constructor is in the class header file,
the UClass must be declared with the CustomConstructor
Constructor Format: UMyObject::UMyObject() or
UMyObject::UMyObject(const FObjectInitializer& ObjectInitializer)
any initialization code written into the constructor will be applied
to the CDO, and will therefore be copied to any new instances of the
object created properly within the engine
The FObjectInitializer parameter that is passed into the
constructor, despite being marked as const, can be configured via
built-in mutable functions to override properties and subobjects
ObjectInitializer.DoNotCreateDefaultSubobject()
Constructor Statics and Helpers: ConstructorStatics
Asset References - ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder
Class References - FClassFinder
Components and Sub-Objects: Creating component subobjects and
attaching them to the actor’s hierarchy can also be done inside of the
constructor; When spawning an actor, its components will be cloned from
the CDO

The EDL contains an ordered list of reel and timecode data
representing where each video clip can be obtained in order to produce
the final cut. In this how-to, we export a cinematic and EDL file, take
it into an external program (like Premiere), make edits to it, and

quick start guide in unreal engine
interfaces
in unreal engine
do not confuse with C++ interface/abstract class
Declare an Interface in C++: UINTERFACE macro instead of the UCLASS;
inherit from UInterface instead of UObject
UINTERFACE class is not the actual interface, but rather an empty
class that provides visibility to the reflection system
UReactToTriggerInterface vs IReactToTriggerInterface +
GENERATED_BODY()
the actual interface has the same name as the empty class, but the
U-prefix is replaced by I
The Blueprintable specifier is required if you want a Blueprint to
implement this interface
Interface Specifiers:
MinimalAPI/BlueprintType/Blueprintable/DependsOn
Blueprint Callable Interface Functions:
Specify a UFUNCTION macro in the function’s declaration with the
BlueprintCallable specifier
Use either the BlueprintImplementableEvent or BlueprintNativeEvent
specifiers
Blueprint callable interface functions cannot be virtual
If your Blueprint callable function does not return a value, Unreal
Engine treats your function as an event in Blueprint
Call a Blueprint Event from C++:
IReactToTriggerInterface::Execute_ReactToTrigger
Determine Whether a Class Implements an Interface:
OriginalObject->GetClass()->ImplementsInterface
OriginalObject->Implements<UReactToTriggerInterface>()
Cast<IReactToTriggerInterface>
Cast to Other Unreal Types: casting system supports casting from one
interface to another, or from an interface to an Unreal type where
appropriate
Safely Store Object and Interface Pointers:
TScriptInterface/FScriptInterface
Blueprint Implementable Interfaces:
If you want a Blueprint to implement this interface, you must use
the Blueprintable metadata specifier. Every interface function (other
than static functions) must be a BlueprintNativeEvent or a
BlueprintImplementableEvent.
From C++, only the Execute_ static wrapper functions will work
properly

World Composition: Levels are arranged in a planar grid, and
streamed in as the player approaches them
World Composition is a legacy system, use World Partition
level
streaming overview in unreal engine
Streaming Levels can be loaded with Level Streaming Volumes or
programmatically
The Persistent Level: must have, “master Level that is primarily
used to govern which Levels will be streamed in and out”
Streaming Levels: managed through the Levels window
streaming Level can be set to Always Loaded or Blueprint for the
streaming type
Always Loaded: loaded together with the persistent Level, ignores
streaming volumes, as well as any loading or unloading requests, never
streamed out
Blueprint streaming type: can be controlled with Level Streaming
Volumes, Blueprints, or C++ code
Level Streaming Volumes: load/unload requests for a streaming Level
are issued based on whether the viewpoint is inside any of the Level
Streaming Volumes associated with a Level

objects
in unreal engine
The base class for objects in Unreal is UObject
The UCLASS macro can be used to tag classes derived from
UObject
UCLASS that describes its Unreal-based type
Each UCLASS maintains one Object called the Class Default Object
(CDO)
UObject Creation: NewObject/CreateDefaultSubobject
UObjects should never use the new operator
Functionality Provided by UObjects
Garbage collection
Reference updating
Reflection
Serialization
Automatic updating of default property changes
Automatic property initialization
Automatic editor integration
Type information available at runtime
Network replication
UStructs are considered value types and are not garbage
collected
The Unreal Header Tool: preprocessing step needs to be run on the
header files
“Header File Format”: MyObject.generated.h include, MYPROJECT_API,
etc
When wrapping parts of a UCLASS with custom #ifdefs macros, UHT will
ignore macros that do not contain WITH_EDITOR or WITHEDITORONLY_DATA
macros
Updating Objects: ticking/FTickableGameObject/Tick()
Destroying Objects:
function MarkPendingKill() can be called directly on an Object;
This function sets all pointers to the Object to NULL and removes
the Object from global searches;
Object->MarkPendingKill() has been replaced with
Obj->MarkAsGarbage()
related to gc.PendingKillEnabled=true
Strong references keep UObjects alive (TODO: test, more
details)
IsValid() is for checking if it’s null or garbage
Existing checks for nullptr should be replaced with IsValid()

guide for blueprints visual scripting in unreal engine
Blueprints are a way to create new UClasses
you create a Blueprint, you can choose to extend a C++ class or
another Blueprint class
You can then add, arrange, and customize Components
implement custom logic using a visual scripting languag
respond to Events and interactions
define custom Variables/etc
Blueprint has a Construction Script, analogous to a constructor in
C++, which is run when the object is created (and when Blueprint
instance properties are modifiyed on the level)
Blueprint can be thought of as a very powerful prefab system

- Overview and Structure
modules encapsulate specific editor tools, runtime features,
libraries, or other functionality in standalone units of code
All projects and plugins have their own primary module by
default
Unreal Engine modules are not related to C++ 20 modules
Setting Up a Module: You can place modules in any subdirectory
within your Source folder, at any number of levels deep
[ModuleName].Build.cs
To control how and when your module loads, add configuration
information for your module in your .uproject

object handling in unreal engine
Automatic Property Initialization: UObjects are automatically zeroed
on initialization
Automatic Updating of References:
When an AActor or UActorComponent is destroyed or otherwise removed
from play, all references to it that are visible to the reflection
system are automatically nulled; (TODO: not clear on UObject*)
UProperty pointers and pointers stored in Unreal Engine container
classes such as TArray
Serialization:
UProperty values are automatically written or read unless explicitly
marked as “transient” or unchanged from the post-constructor default
value
UObject::Serialize - custom behavior
Updating of Property Values: When the Class Default Object (or CDO)
of a UClass has changed, the engine will try to apply those changes to
all instances of the class when they are loaded
Editor Integration: expose properties in Editor/Blueprints
Editor/etc.
Run-Time Type Information and Casting: Cast<>
Garbage Collection:
The engine builds a reference graph to determine which UObjects are
still in use
At the root of this graph is a set of UObjects designated as the
“root set”
Any UObject can be added to the root set
Actors can be explicitly marked for destruction by calling their
Destroy function
Components can be destroyed explicitly with the DestroyComponent
function

LLM Trackers: 2 trackers
Default Tracker is for all allocations from the Engine - allocations
made through the FMemory class
stat LLM
Platform Tracker: records all allocations made from the OS -
internal allocations made by functions like Binned2
stat LLMPlatform
command line: -LLM, -LLMCSV, -llmtagsets=Assets,
-llmtagsets=AssetClasses
tweak LLM.LLMWriteInterval
LLM Tags: LLM_DECLARE_TAG/LLM_DEFINE_TAG/LLM_SCOPE_BYTAG

world
composition in unreal engine
scans a folder and treats all found levels as streaming levels
Each streaming level has information stored in the package header,
which World Composition can read without loading the level into
memory
World Composition relies on a world origin shifting feature
World Composition is a legacy system, use World Partition
TODO: see this
article
Activating World Composition: Enable World Composition flag in World
Settings
(after activation) all the levels in your project will be visible in
the Levels window
To load a level in the world composition, just double-click its
name
drag-and-drop, you can establish relationships between individual
levels
Child levels store position relative to the parent level
Levels Composition: button to open World Composition at the top of
the Levels window (see the layout of your world)
Layers: By default, all levels are assigned to an Uncategorized
layer
Layers hold information about streaming distances
Levels assigned to a layer with streaming distance disabled will be
excluded from distance streaming, and can instead be controlled using
Blueprints
Each level has an image and position in the world, which are
displayed in the minimap
arrange the position of levels by dragging them
Level Bounds Actor is automatically created in the level
By default, the Level Bounds Actor automatically resizes to include
all Actors found in the level
some Actors, like skyboxes, can have very large bounding boxes, you
can disable automatic level bounds calculations and set a fixed
size
minimap has a yellow square indicating the safe edit area, equal to
the WORLD_MAX constant
Level Details: LOD Settings
level in the world composition can have up to 4 LOD streaming
levels
Depending on streaming distance settings streaming level will be
replaced with corresponding LOD level
LOD levels automatically discovered by World Composition using
pattern [Package name]_LOD#
World Origin Shifting: ApplyWorldOffset
world origin shifting is not supported in the multiplayer games
However if you disable world origin, shifting you can run a tiled
world with a dedicated server
Creating Landscape Levels
Tiled Landscape Import
you can press ‘alt’ in the world composition window to see what
levels will be loaded considering your cursor position is your player
position
Consider breaking up your levels into exterior and interior
ones
