UKismetStringLibrary::Conv_NameToString

Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast
Description
Converts an FName to its readable FString form. This is the standard way to get a displayable or concatenable string out of a name value.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • FName comparisons and storage are case-insensitive internally, so the display string returned reflects whichever casing was first registered — later code that constructs the 'same' FName with different casing still converts to the original casing.
- • Each call resolves the name from the global name table; avoid doing this every tick in a hot loop, cache the resulting FString instead.
