UKismetGuidLibrary::NewGuid

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown
#include "Kismet/KismetGuidLibrary.h"
Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Generates a new, statistically unique GUID.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • Each call produces a different, effectively-unique value — it is not deterministic and cannot be reproduced from a seed, so it isn't suitable for content that needs stable IDs across runs (use a fixed FGuid or a name-based key instead).
  • Internally wraps FGuid::NewGuid(), which is not guaranteed to be cryptographically secure — do not rely on it for security-sensitive tokens.

Signature

FGuid
