CreateDefaultSuboject without specifying Outer

Development Programming & Scripting

I can’t find anywhere why Outer is not required to use CreateDefaultSubobject. Checking UObjectGlobals header and the implementations of CreateDefaultSubobject I can’t seem to find a “defaulted” Outer like bTransient is here:

TReturnType* CreateDefaultSubobject(UObject* Outer, FName SubobjectName, bool bTransient = false) const

and TEXT() macro isn’t relevant.

The examples you gave were creating components in Actors. Those function calls use the CreateDefaultSubobject from Object.h which does not an Outer as a parameter.
