UKismetSystemLibrary::IsValidSoftClassReference
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintThreadSafe
Description
Returns true if the soft class reference is not null, i.e. it holds a non-empty class path.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Only checks that a path is set, not that the class actually exists or is loaded — a reference to a renamed or deleted Blueprint class still returns true here.
- • Use LoadClassAsset_Blocking or an async class load to confirm the class actually resolves.
