UObject::IsA
#include "UObject/UObjectBaseUtility.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: inlineconst
Description
Returns true if this object's class is T or a subclass of T. Uses UE's reflection system rather than C++ RTTI.
Signature
template<class T> bool IsA() constReturn Type
bool Caveats & Gotchas
- • IsA<T>() is preferred over Cast<T>() != nullptr when you only want a boolean — it avoids the cast overhead.
- • Calling IsA with a null UClass argument triggers a check failure. Ensure the class argument is non-null when using the UClass* overload.
- • Unlike dynamic_cast, IsA will not work correctly for types not registered with the UObject reflection system.
Example
Template form C++
if (MyObject->IsA<ACharacter>())
{
// MyObject is ACharacter or a subclass
