UKismetSystemLibrary::Conv_ComponentReferenceToSoftComponentReference
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Converts a hard FComponentReference into an FSoftComponentReference, for storage or serialization contexts that prefer a soft reference to the owning actor.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Marked BlueprintAutocast, so Blueprint performs this conversion implicitly on pin connection rather than through an explicit node.
- • FSoftComponentReference stores the owning actor as a soft object path, so resolving it later still requires that actor to be loaded.
