Built-in function that always runs at startup?

[pivotraze]

Is there a built-in function, in US, that always runs no matter what?

For example, in Unity, I could use the functions Start, or Awake and have stuff execute right away. Is there a universal function (i.e., one that can run in any extended class, and not just in Actor, etc...) that will run on start?

I think PostBeginPlay() is only Actor extended classes, right?

Objects are not really used without any Actor context in the engine, so the Actor can kick off any necessary events in the Objects itself when it's time for that.

In my HUD system do I have a MenuScene object that is created in the HUD's PostBeginPlay() and immediately gets it's InitializeMenuScene() called by the HUD after it got created. In InitializeMenuScene() does it then go on and calls the initializing functions for all it's owned GUIComponents. Same chain of events when the HUD gets it's Destroyed() event called and propagates that to the MenuScene to let it clean itself up.

PostBeginPlay is indeed what you're looking for. Objects tend to be owner by Actors.
