Overview

Global utility functions used across the framework.

Conversion functions

Name	Description
toString	Convert FText, FName, UObject*, TCHAR, uint32, int, float to FString. UObject version includes outer hierarchy.
enumToString	Enum value to FString.
enumToName	Enum value to FName.
stringToEnum	FString to enum value.
nameToEnum	FName to enum value.
intToEnum	uint8 to enum.
stringToText	FString to FText.
nameToText	FName to FText.

// UObject with outer hierarchy
FString s = toString(myActor); // "MyActor \ MyLevel"

// Enum conversions
FString s = enumToString(EMyEnum::Value1);
FName n = enumToName(EMyEnum::Value1);
EMyEnum e = stringToEnum<EMyEnum>("Value1");
EMyEnum e2 = nameToEnum<EMyEnum>(FName("Value1"));
EMyEnum e3 = intToEnum<EMyEnum>(2);

// Text conversions
FText t = stringToText("hello");
FText t2 = nameToText(FName("hello"));

Utility functions

Name	Description
isInGameThread	Returns true if called from the game thread.
isModuleOrPluginLoaded	Check if a module/plugin is loaded.
ifExistElseDefault	Return val if valid, else defVal.

bool gt = isInGameThread(this);
bool loaded = isModuleOrPluginLoaded(FName("CdryxCoreUModule"));
UClass* c = ifExistElseDefault(myClass, ADefaultActor::StaticClass());

Macros & Enums

Name	Description
CDRYX_TEMPLATE_ASSERT	Static assert that Child derives from Parent.
ECOutputTypeBPRunBranch	Blueprint enum: valid, notValid. Used for execution branching in BP functions.

CDRYX_TEMPLATE_ASSERT(UMyClass, UActorComponent, "2312182217")
