1. Create a UFUNCTION with the UFunction Specifiers (`BlueprintNativeEvent, BlueprintCallable,

meta = (ForceAsFunction)`) in your .h file.

```cpp
 // Declare the virtual function
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintNativeEvent, BlueprintCallable, meta = (ForceAsFunction))
    void MyVirtualFunction();
```

2. Declare a virtual Implementation for the C++ function in your .h file.

   // Declare the _Implementation version
       virtual void MyVirtualFunction_Implementation();
   

3. Write your implementation of the C++ function in your .cpp file

   void AMyClass::MyVirtualFunction_Implementation()
   {
       // Default implementation
       UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("MyVirtualFunction called in C++"));
   }
   

<aside> ⚠️

If you forget to add meta = (ForceAsFunction) you only get Blueprint Event overrides.

<aside> ⚠️

You only get the automatic Call to Parent Node if you add the UFunction Specifier BlueprintCallable.

If you did everything correct it should look like this
