UKismetSystemLibrary::GetSoftObjectReferenceFromPrimaryAssetId

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the soft object reference (path) associated with a Primary Asset Id. Unlike GetObjectFromPrimaryAssetId, this works even if the asset is not loaded.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The Asset Manager must have already scanned and registered the asset for this to resolve to a valid path; otherwise the returned soft reference is null.
• This does not load the asset — the returned TSoftObjectPtr must still be loaded synchronously or asynchronously before dereferencing.

TSoftObjectPtr<UObject> SoftRef = UKismetSystemLibrary::GetSoftObjectReferenceFromPrimaryAssetId(AssetId);
if (!SoftRef.IsNull())
{
	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Path: %s"), *SoftRef.ToSoftObjectPath().ToString());
}
