Syntax

class UK2Node_DynamicCast : public UK2Node

Variables

	Name	Description
bool	bIsPureCast
FNodeTextCache	CachedNodeTitle	Constructing FText strings can be costly, so we cache the node's title
TSubclassOf< cl...	TargetType	The type that the input should try to be cast to

Constructors

	Name	Description
	UK2Node_DynamicCast ( const FObjectInitializer& ObjectIn... )

Functions

	Name	Description
UEdGraphPin ...	GetBoolSuccessPin()	Get the boolean output pin that signifies a successful/failed cast.
UEdGraphPin ...	GetCastResultPin()	Get the cast result pin
UEdGraphPin ...	GetCastSourcePin()	Get the input object to be casted pin
UEdGraphPin ...	GetInvalidCastPin()	Get the 'invalid cast' exec pin
UEdGraphPin ...	GetValidCastPin()	Get the 'valid cast' exec pin
bool	ReconnectPureExecPins ( TArray< UEdGraphPin* >& OldPi... )	Update exec pins when converting from impure to pure.
void	SetPurity ( bool bNewPurity )	Will change the node's purity, and reallocate pins accordingly (adding/ removing exec pins).
void	TogglePurity()	Flips the node's purity (adding/removing exec pins as needed).

Overridden from UK2Node

	Name	Description
FNodeHandlin...	CreateNodeHandler ( FKismetCompilerContext& CompilerCo... )
ERedirectTyp...	DoPinsMatchForReconstruction ( const UEdGraphPin* NewPin, int32 NewPinIndex, const UEdGraphPin* OldPin, int32 OldPinIndex )	Whether or not two pins match for purposes of reconnection after reconstruction.
FText	GetMenuCategory()	Override to provide a default category for specific node types to be listed under.
FBlueprintNo...	GetSignature()	Retrieves a unique identifier for this node type.
bool	HasExternalDependencies ( TArray< class UStruct* >*... )	Returns whether or not this node has dependencies on an external structure If OptionalOutput isn't null, it should be filled with the known dependencies objects (Classes, Structures, Functions, etc).
bool	IsConnectionDisallowed ( const UEdGraphPin* MyPin, const UEdGraphPin* OtherPin, FString& OutReason )
bool	IsNodePure()	Returns whether this node is considered 'pure' by the compiler
void	NotifyPinConnectionListChanged ( UEdGraphPin* Pin )	Called when the connection list of one of the pins of this node is changed in the editor, after the pin has had it's literal cleared
void	PostReconstructNode()	Called at the end of ReconstructNode, allows node specific work to be performed
void	ReallocatePinsDuringReconstruction ( TArray< UEdGraphPin* >& OldPi... )	Reallocate pins during reconstruction; by default ignores the old pins and calls AllocateDefaultPins() If you override this to create additional pins you likely need to call RestoreSplitPins to restore any pins that have been split (e.g. a vector pin split into its components)

Overridden from UEdGraphNode

	Name	Description
void	AllocateDefaultPins()	Allocate default pins for a given node, based only the NodeType, which should already be filled in.
FSlateIcon	GetIconAndTint ( FLinearColor& OutColor )
void	GetNodeContextMenuActions ( UToolMenu* Menu, UGraphNodeContextMenuContext* ... )	Gets a list of actions that can be done to this particular node
FText	GetNodeTitle ( ENodeTitleType::Type TitleType )	Gets the name of this node, shown in title bar
FLinearColor	GetNodeTitleColor()	Gets the draw color of a node's title bar
bool	IncludeParentNodeContextMenu()	Does the node context menu inherit parent class's menu
void	PostPlacedNewNode()	A chance to initialize a new node; called just once when a new node is created, before AutowireNewNode or AllocateDefaultPins is called.
void	ValidateNodeDuringCompilation ( FCompilerResultsLog& MessageLog )	Gives each visual node a chance to do final validation before it's node is harvested for use at runtime.
