UKismetSystemLibrary::IsValidSoftObjectReference
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintThreadSafe
Description
Returns true if the soft object reference is not null, i.e. it holds a non-empty asset path.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • "Valid" here only means the path is set — it does not mean the asset exists on disk or is currently loaded. Use LoadSynchronous or an async load to actually confirm and resolve the asset.
- • A reference to a deleted or moved asset still returns true from this check because the path string itself is non-empty.
