UKismetTextLibrary::Conv_ObjectToText
#include "Kismet/KismetTextLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPureBlueprintAutocast
Description
Converts a UObject reference to culture-invariant text by calling the object's GetName(). Backs the 'To Text (Object)' Blueprint conversion node.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns the object's internal GetName(), not a display-friendly label — for actors this is often an auto-generated name like 'StaticMeshActor_3' rather than anything set in the editor.
- • Passing a null object returns text for 'None' rather than triggering an error, so an upstream null check is still needed if that distinction matters to your logic.
