Syntax

UCLASS&40;Abstract&41;  
class UBaseCharacterFXEditor : public UAssetEditor

Remarks

BaseUAssetEditor class for character simulation asset editors (e.g. cloth, hair, flesh).

Our current asset editor guidelines ask us to place as little business logic as possible into the class, instead putting as much of the non-UI code into the subsystem as possible, and the UI code into the toolkit (which this class owns).

However, since we're using a mode and the Interactive Tools Framework, a lot of our business logic ends up inside the mode and the tools, not the subsystem. The front-facing code is mostly in the asset editor toolkit, though the mode toolkit has most of the things that deal with the toolbar on the left.

Variables

	Type	Name	Description
	TArray< TObjectPtr< UObject > >	OriginalObjectsToEdit	Note that things like CloseWindow, FocusWindow, and IsPrimaryEditor seem to be called on the toolkit, not the editor class, so they are overriden there.

Functions

	Type	Name	Description
	IAssetEditorInstance *	GetInstanceInterface ()	Returns the asset editor instance interface, so that its window can be focused, for example.
	void	Initialize ( const TArray< TObjectPtr< UObject >>& InObjects )	Store objects to edit and call UAssetEditor::Initialize

Overridden from UAssetEditor

	Type	Name	Description
	TSharedPtr< FBaseAssetToolkit >	CreateToolkit ()	Inherited from UAssetEditor and called in UAssetEditor::Initialize. Override this to create a subclass of FBaseCharacterFXEditorToolkit.
	void	GetObjectsToEdit ( TArray< UObject* >& OutObjects )	Retrieve stored objects to edit
