Prefab Source Component

About

Use this component in any actor class if you want it to act like a prefab.

You can place multiple PSC on one actor but for simplicity i wouldn't recommend this route (unless you are working on composition with various PSCs).

The main role of the PSC is to hold the runtime data the PRC will pass: Prefab Properties Object.

If you want to simply retreive the Prefab Properties Objects and not store them after, you can implement the Prefab Source Interface on your prefab actor instead of using a PRC.

Classes

Base

> Base Prefab Source Component (UPSBasePrefabSourceComponent)

This class shouldn't be directly used by you, if you want to extend the PSC you should subclass the singleplayer or multiplayer class instead.

Single

> Single Prefab Source Component (UPSSinglePrefabSourceComponent)

The singleplayer base class for the PSC.

Net

> Net Prefab Source Component (UPSNetPrefabSourceComponent)

The multiplayer base class for the PSC.

For this subclass the Prefab Properties Objects are transfered and managed by the Prefab Net Manager. But you still use the PSC's getters/setters.

Delegates

While the available delegates are listed here, it is always recommended to read about them in the source code instead.

Name	Description
OnPrefabSourceComponentInitialized	Called when this component is initialized, properties are sure to be set at this point (if any). There is a race condition where this delegate gets fired BEFORE you bound to it. It is recommended to check for IsInitialized before binding ot it. You can also check for the various Async Actions such as GetOrWaitForPrefabPropertiesObject. This is called on server and clients.
OnPropertiesSet	Called after initialization and when the properties are set. There is a race condition where this delegate gets fired BEFORE you bound to it. It is recommended to check for IsPrefabPropertiesSet before binding ot it. You can also check for the various Async Actions such as GetOrWaitForPrefabPropertiesObject. This is called on server and clients.
OnPrefabPropertiesObjectAdded	Called when this component received a Prefab Properties Object. If in Blueprint see the GetOrWaitForPrefabPropertiesObjectOfClass Async Action for a easier use. This is called on server and clients.
