UKismetGuidLibrary::Parse_StringToGuid

Description
Parses a string into a GUID, auto-detecting which of the standard EGuidFormats it's written in, and reports whether parsing succeeded.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • OutGuid is left in an unspecified/default state when parsing fails — always branch on Success rather than assuming OutGuid is valid afterward.
- • Accepts any of FGuid::Parse's supported formats (digits, digits-with-hyphens, braces, etc.), so it is more permissive than the single format Conv_GuidToString produces.
Signature

Return Type
void Example
Parse user or config input into a GUID C++
FGuid ParsedId;
bool bSuccess = false;
UKismetGuidLibrary::Parse_StringToGuid(TEXT("A1B2C3D4E5F6A7B8C9D0E1F2A3B4C5D6"), ParsedId, bSuccess);
if (bSuccess)
{
// use ParsedId
