UKismetMathLibrary::EqualEqual_NameName

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetMathLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if FName A equals FName B. FName comparison is an integer index lookup, making this a very fast O(1) operation regardless of string length.

Caveats & Gotchas

• FName comparison is case-insensitive by default — `NAME_None == FName("none")` is true. If you need case-sensitive comparison, use FString comparisons instead.
• NAME_None and an empty FName constructed from an empty string are not the same FName index — `FName() == NAME_None` is true but `FName("") == NAME_None` may not be, depending on engine version. Prefer NAME_None explicitly.
