What could go wrong?

What are the downsides of using Blueprints instead of writing C++?

  • C++ is always faster. Blueprints use Virtual Machine(VM) to translate functionality to C++.

  • If you have a Blueprint that's doing a lot of operations and complex math every tick(frame rendered), you might want to consider using native C++ functions instead.

  • Blueprints are a set of functionality that is made available to you in the visual editor. You can write anything that is not available to you as Blueprints, using C++.

  • Blueprints use object references, it is possible to have a circular dependency in your blueprint code.
