Unreal Engine 4.x Scripting with C++ Cookbook - Second Edition

How to do it...

Let's say we are trying to construct an object of a UAction type that itself derives from UObject—for example, the following class:

UCLASS(BlueprintType, Blueprintable,        meta=(ShortTooltip="Base class for any Action type") )class CHAPTER_03_API UAction : public UObject{  GENERATED_BODY()public:  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category=Properties)  FString Text;  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category=Properties)  FKey ShortcutKey;};

To construct an instance of the UAction class, we'd do the following:

// Create an objectUAction * action = NewObject<UAction>(GetTransientPackage(),                                       UAction::StaticClass()                                       /* RF_* flags */ );
