Signature
FORCEINLINE UClass* GetClass() constReturn Type
UClass* Caveats & Gotchas
- • Never returns null on a valid, non-garbage-collected UObject. If calling on a potentially stale pointer, validate with IsValid() first.
- • For cast checks, prefer IsA<T>() or Cast<T>() rather than comparing GetClass() == T::StaticClass() — the latter misses derived classes.
Example
Log the class name C++
if (IsValid(Obj))
{
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Class: %s"), *Obj->GetClass()->GetName());
