Overridden from UWorldSubsystem

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual Const bool UWorldSubsystem implementation Begin.
Public function Virtual void Called once all UWorldSubsystems have been initialized

Overridden from USubsystem

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual void Implement this for deinitialization of instances of the system
Public function Virtual void USubsystem implementation Begin.

Overridden from FTickableGameObject

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual Const bool Used to determine whether the object should be ticked in the editor.

Overridden from FTickableObjectBase

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual Const TStatId Return the stat id to use for this tickable
Public function Virtual Const bool FTickableGameObject implementation Begin.
Public function Virtual void

Tick ( float DeltaTime
)

 Pure virtual that must be overloaded by the inheriting class.

Classes

  Type Name Description
Public class FOnWaterSubsystemInitialized    
Public struct FScopedAllowWaterSubsystemOnPreviewWorld Little scope object to temporarily change the value of bAllowWaterSubsystemOnPreviewWorld  

Constants

Name Description
bAllowWaterSubsystemOnPreviewWorld By default, there is no water subsystem allowed on preview worlds except when explicitly requested :

Deprecated Variables

  Type Name Description
Public variable FWaterBodyManager WaterBodyManager This will become a private member. Prefer calling GetWaterBodyManager instead

Deprecated Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function Static void

ForEachWaterBodyComponent ( const UWorld* World,
TFunctionRef< bool(UWaterBodyComponent*)> Predicate
)

 Please use FWaterBodyManager::ForEachWaterBodyComponent instead.
Public function Const AWaterZone *

GetWaterZoneActor ( ULevel* InPreferredOuterLevel
)

 There may be multiple water zones per level. Prefer calling the GetWaterZone on a per-water body basis or iterating over all zones.
