Syntax

const TCHAR * ImportObjectProperties
(
    uint8 * DestData,
    const TCHAR * SourceText,
    UStruct * ObjectStruct,
    UObject * SubobjectRoot,
    UObject * SubobjectOuter,
    FFeedbackContext * Warn,

)

Remarks

Parse and import text as property values for the object specified.

Returns

NULL if the default values couldn't be imported

Parameters

Parameter	Description
DestData	the location to import the property values to
SourceText	pointer to a buffer containing the values that should be parsed and imported
ObjectStruct	the struct for the data we're importing
SubobjectRoot	the original object that ImportObjectProperties was called for. if SubobjectOuter is a subobject, corresponds to the first object in SubobjectOuter's Outer chain that is not a subobject itself. if SubobjectOuter is not a subobject, should normally be the same value as SubobjectOuter
SubobjectOuter	the object corresponding to DestData; this is the object that will used as the outer when creating subobjects from definitions contained in SourceText
Warn	output device to use for log messages
Depth	current nesting level
LineNumber	used when importing defaults during script compilation for tracking which line the defaultproperties block begins on
InstanceGraph	contains the mappings of instanced objects and components to their templates; used when recursively calling ImportObjectProperties; generally not necessary to specify a value when calling this function from other code
ActorRemapper	used when duplicating actors to remap references from a source actor to the duplicated actor
DestData	the location to import the property values to
SourceText	pointer to a buffer containing the values that should be parsed and imported
ObjectStruct	the struct for the data we're importing
SubobjectRoot	the original object that ImportObjectProperties was called for. if SubobjectOuter is a subobject, corresponds to the first object in SubobjectOuter's Outer chain that is not a subobject itself. if SubobjectOuter is not a subobject, should normally be the same value as SubobjectOuter
SubobjectOuter	the object corresponding to DestData; this is the object that will used as the outer when creating subobjects from definitions contained in SourceText
Warn	ouptut device to use for log messages
Depth	current nesting level
LineNumber	used when importing defaults during script compilation for tracking which line we're currently for the purposes of printing compile errors
InstanceGraph	contains the mappings of instanced objects and components to their templates; used when recursively calling ImportObjectProperties; generally not necessary to specify a value when calling this function from other code
