UKismetSystemLibrary::Conv_ClassToSoftClassReference

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

Description

Wraps a hard class reference in a soft class reference. Backs the automatic Blueprint cast from a class pin to a soft class reference pin.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • Does not add a strong reference to the class — if nothing else keeps it loaded, the resulting soft reference can become unresolved later.
  • Marked BlueprintInternalUseOnly; in Blueprint this happens implicitly via pin conversion, not through an explicit node.
