How to return a ref to a struct?

I know this isn’t the answer you are looking for but at the end of the day, instead of fighting against it or trying to wrap this around various containers / uobjects, if you want to allow Blueprint to edit these structs, you could just expose the array as UPROPERTY and use the array Get (by ref).

Its looking like I’ll have to do some restructuring of my class since refs don’t seem to work outside of C++.

So is there a way to make the array public but not allow reordering, adding, or deleting elements but still allow access to the elements and editing the elements directly?

Blueprints bites. You’ll definitely have the better experience once you go 99% c++. That might look like a lot of effort to dive into right now, but compared to how much time you lose with blueprints (limitations, corruption, non portable code) you will actually save time in the end.

I’m definitely seeing the limitations more as my projects get more complex (I’m still a beginner) but for now I’m only dipping my toes into C++ since I find it faster to experiment in BP. I plan to move to C++ when my project gets more set in stone and I’m not just testing things out.
C++ definitely looks like a lot though. I have some experience with C++ from school projects but all the macros and types UE adds makes it feel like learning a new language almost.
