FSoftObjectPath::PostLoadPath

function CoreUObject Since unknown

#include "UObject/SoftObjectPath.h"

Access: public Specifiers: const

Description

Called after the path is deserialized to apply core redirects and any other post-load fixup, updating the path in place.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Declared const but logically mutates the path (it modifies internal state through the redirection table). This is intentional to allow fixup on const references, but can be surprising when debugging.
• SerializePath calls this automatically; you only need to call PostLoadPath manually when you have deserialized a path via SerializePathWithoutFixup and want to apply fixup in a controlled second step.

Signature

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default

Example

Apply fixup after a fixup-free deserialization C++

FSoftObjectPath Path;
Path.SerializePathWithoutFixup(Ar); // raw load
// ... inspect raw value ...
Path.PostLoadPath(&Ar); // now apply redirects
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Fixed-up path: %s"), *Path.ToString());
