UGantryExperienceSettings

The experience subsystem class each world uses, for a game that subclasses it in C++.

Must derive from UGantryExperienceSubsystem. Empty uses Gantry's own.

The project's base experience: the root of the experience tree, which every experience sits under.

Only a Gantry Base Experience asset can go here. Empty means the project does not use experiences, and worlds start without one.

Gantry finds the game's own experiences through this asset's Children. Ship it in the base game's install (chunk 0), so the list stays readable when content it names is not installed. The asset manager must also scan and cook it: Gantry logs an error at startup when no Primary Asset Types to Scan rule covers experiences.

The experience each map starts with, such as a training map that always starts the tutorial.

A URL option (?Experience=<tag>), the command line (-Experience=<tag>) and, in Play In Editor, the developer setting Play In Editor Experience win over this. This wins over the base experience's Default Experience.

Seconds one stage may run before Gantry logs a warning that it may be stuck.

Zero turns the warning off.

Folders holding mods, each a game feature plugin in its own subfolder or a .gantry file.

Relative paths are relative to the project directory. See UGantryModSubsystem.

Mount every mod in Mod Directories when the engine finishes starting, in a game or server.

Never in the editor, which mounts on request with the Gantry.Mods.Mount console command. Off by default: turn it on if your game takes mods.

Seconds between looks at Mod Directories while the game runs.

A mod folder or .gantry file dropped in is mounted on the next look, and its experiences join the tree at the next activation. Zero looks only at startup (and on Gantry.Mods.Mount). Games and servers only, with Mount Mods At Startup on; never the editor.

Actor classes (and their children) registered with the Game Framework Component Manager as they appear in a game world, so game features (the game's own, DLC, or mods) can add components to actors whose code never registers them.

Empty by default: list what the game opens up.

Never list a class whose actors register themselves: the component manager does not check, and every component would be added twice.
