[SOLVED]Making Blueprint of UGameInstanceSubsystem

How Can I create a blueprint of UGameInstanceSubsystem and make sure that only the blueprint one is initialized? Currently, on making the blueprint both are getting initialized.

Issue - I need to expose a Tmap for the game editor which the user will configure. I use this in my plugin.


UMySubSystemManager* MySubsystem = GetWorld()->GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UMySubSystemManager>();

How can I ensure I use the child of this class i.e the blueprint and not the cpp.

Bump any help : (

Hi,

so the basic concept is that Blueprints build on top of C++ code. This also means that C++ Does not know anything about blueprints. To work around that you normally have to declare a function in C++ and implement it in Blueprints.
Regarding your questing: I am not sure if you can create a Blueprint from a Subsystem. But what you could do, is make a setter function which will actively set the TMap in your MySubsystem. And this could be everywhere, like an Actor in the level who will do this on begin play.

UClass* Class = MySubsystem->GetClass();
UBlueprint* BP = Cast<UBlueprint>(Class->ClassGeneratedBy);


BP will be nullptr if it isn’t a blueprint.
But that doesn’t solve the problem, your native class should be marked with Abstract specifier.



UCLASS(Abstract)


That will prevent the C++ base class to be spawned by the SubsystemCollection{}.

Thanks For the direction but on making abstract C++, sometimes the blueprint of this is also not spawning. But after double-clicking and opening blueprint it starts working : (

Blueprint classes are only loaded when there are hard object references to them or you explicitly load the class with FAssetRegistryModule.
