UKismetSystemLibrary::GetSoftObjectPath
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the full path to the specified object as an FSoftObjectPath, suitable for storing and later resolving asynchronously via the asset system.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • For a world-placed actor or other non-asset object, the returned path is only valid while that object exists in the current world — it's not a stable reference you can save to disk and resolve after the level is reloaded, unlike a path to a persistent asset.
- • Passing a null Object constructs an empty FSoftObjectPath rather than erroring; check IsValid() on the result if you need to distinguish that case.
