Declaration

UCLASS()
class UOrreryTerrainHeightmapFactory : public UFactory

Header: #include "Factories/OrreryTerrainFactories.h"
Module: PublicDependencyModuleNames.Add("OrreryTerrainEditor"); in an editor module’s Build.cs: an editor module, not in packaged games.
Stability: Experimental: supported, may change in a minor version, with a changelog line.
Thread: Game thread, editor only.
Derives from: UFactory

Description

Not an import factory on purpose: a PNG dropped into the browser stays a texture. ConfigureProperties opens a file picker and, when no sidecar gives the scale and extent, the import dialog; FactoryCreateNew runs UOrreryTerrainHeightmapImport.

Note.

Game thread, editor only. Tier 3.
