FSoftObjectPath::ToString

function CoreUObject Blueprint Since 4.18

#include "UObject/SoftObjectPath.h"

Access: public Specifiers: const

Description

Returns the full path as an FString in the form `/Package/Path.AssetName` or `/Package/Path.AssetName:SubObjectPath` when a sub-object path is present.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Allocates a new FString on every call. In tight loops or log-heavy code, prefer the AppendString overload that writes into an existing FStringBuilderBase to avoid repeated heap allocations.
• A null FSoftObjectPath (IsNull() == true) returns an empty FString, not the string 'None'. Test IsNull() explicitly if you need to distinguish a null path from a valid path.
