UKismetSystemLibrary::GetObjectName
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the actual internal object name (e.g. "BP_Enemy_C_3"), the same value returned by UObject::GetName().
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Implemented via GetNameSafe, so it returns "None" for a null Object instead of crashing — safe to call without a prior validity check.
- • This is the raw engine object name, not a human-friendly label — for Actors, this differs from the editor Actor label; use GetDisplayName instead if you want what's shown in the World Outliner.
