UKismetSystemLibrary::Conv_SoftClassReferenceToClass

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Resolves a soft class reference to its already-loaded class, or null if the class hasn't been loaded yet. Used internally to back the automatic Blueprint cast from a soft class reference pin to a class pin.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns null if the soft class hasn't been loaded into memory — it does not trigger a load, so pair it with LoadAssetClass or a blocking load first.
• Marked BlueprintInternalUseOnly; in Blueprint this happens implicitly via pin conversion rather than through a callable node.
