Global Functions

Custom global functions in Blueprints enhance the functionality of the Pool Manager and object pooling system without requiring C++ coding. These functions can be accessed and used from any Blueprint, providing flexibility and ease of use in managing object pools.

Blueprint Function Library: PoolFunctionLibrary

A Blueprint Function Library allows you to define static functions that can be called from any Blueprint in your project. Below is the documentation for using custom global functions in Blueprints for object pooling.

Available Functions

The PoolFunctionLibrary Blueprint Function Library includes several key functions for managing object pools:

1. GetObjectFromPool

2. AddObjectToPool

3. GetPoolAssetKeys

4. GetKeysFromAllAssets

5. GetGlobalPoolSettings
