UKismetSystemLibrary::Conv_SoftObjRefToSoftObjPath

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintThreadSafeBlueprintAutocast

Description

Converts a TSoftObjectPtr<UObject> soft reference into its underlying FSoftObjectPath. Shown in Blueprint as the "To Soft Object Path" autocast node.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a pure struct conversion — it does not check whether the referenced asset actually exists or resolve anything.
• Because the input is TSoftObjectPtr<UObject>, converting a more specific typed soft pointer (e.g. TSoftObjectPtr<UStaticMesh>) implicitly upcasts to UObject first; the resulting path string is unaffected either way.
