How to Add a Scene Component in C++?

[Shmoopy1701]

BTW, you can make a nice, clean “AddComponent()” function by detecting the thread context and using the appropriate way to instantiate. Kinda annoying that we have to do this … but not aware there is another way?

Code for detecting thread context. There’s a function for both because sometime it reads better either way.

bool UObjectUtilities::GetThreadContextIsContructor()
{
	FUObjectThreadContext& ThreadContext = FUObjectThreadContext::Get();
	if (ThreadContext.IsInConstructor > 0)
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}

bool UObjectUtilities::GetThreadContextIsRuntime()
{
	FUObjectThreadContext& ThreadContext = FUObjectThreadContext::Get();
	if (ThreadContext.IsInConstructor > 0)
	{
		return false; 
	}
	else
	{
		return true; 
	}
}
