UBlueprintInstancedStructLibrary::IsInstancedStructValid

function Engine Blueprint Since 5.0

#include "Kismet/BlueprintInstancedStructLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Checks whether an FInstancedStruct currently holds a value, exposed to Blueprint as a branching "Is Valid" node.

• In Blueprint this displays as "Is Valid (Branch)" with ExpandEnumAsExecs — it produces Valid/NotValid exec pins rather than a boolean output pin.
• From C++, calling this returns an EStructUtilsResult enum, not a bool — compare against EStructUtilsResult::Valid, or just call InstancedStruct.IsValid() directly instead.
• There is a separate, differently-named IsValid_InstancedStruct function in the same header that returns a plain bool with DisplayName "Is Valid" — don't confuse the two when reading Blueprint graphs.
