UKismetSystemLibrary::GetSystemPath
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Returns the full file system path to the .uasset/.umap file backing the specified object, as an absolute OS path.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns an empty string for any object that is not itself an asset (Object->IsAsset() must be true) — this will not resolve a path for a world-placed actor, a component, or a transient object.
- • The returned path only exists on the machine running this code; it is meaningless to send this string over the network or use it to identify an asset for another player/build.
