UKismetSystemLibrary::LoadClassAsset_Blocking
#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable
Description
Resolves a soft class reference immediately, loading the class synchronously if it isn't already loaded. Exposed to Blueprint as the "Load Class Asset (Blocking)" node.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • This stalls the calling thread until the load finishes and will cause a hitch — prefer Async Load Class Asset on any path that runs during gameplay.
- • Returns nullptr if the soft reference is unset or the class fails to load (e.g. the Blueprint was deleted or the path is invalid).
- • Calling this from a non-game thread is unsafe; the underlying asset loading pipeline is not designed for arbitrary worker-thread use.
