Syntax

struct FSoftObjectPath

Remarks

A struct that contains a string reference to an object, either a package, a top level asset or a subobject. This can be used to make soft references to assets that are loaded on demand. This is stored internally as an FTopLevelAssetPath pointing to the top level asset (/package/path.assetname) and an optional string subobject path. If the MetaClass metadata is applied to a FProperty with this the UI will restrict to that type of asset.

Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function Static void

AddPIEPackageName ( FName NewPIEPackageName
)

 Adds list of packages names that have been created specifically for PIE, this is used for editor fixup
Public function Const void  
Public function Const void

AppendString ( FString& Builder
)

 Append string representation of reference, in form /package/path.assetname[:subpath]
Public function Static void Disables special PIE path handling, call when PIE finishes to clear list
Public function Const bool

ExportTextItem ( FString& ValueStr,
FSoftObjectPath const& DefaultValue,
UObject* Parent,
int32 PortFlags,
UObject* ExportRootScope
)

  
Public function Const bool

FastLess ( const FSoftObjectPath& Other
)

 Return true if this path appears before Other using fast index-based fname order
Public function bool Fixes soft object path for CoreRedirects to handle renamed native objects, returns true if it was modified
Public function bool

FixupForPIE ( int32 PIEInstance,
TFunctionRef< void(int32, FSoftObjectPath&)> InPreFixupForPIECustomFunction
)

 Fixes up this SoftObjectPath to add the PIE prefix for the given PIEInstance index, returns true if it was modified
Public function bool

FixupForPIE ( TFunctionRef< void(int32, FSoftObjectPath&)> InPreFixupForPIECustomFunction
)

 Fixes up this SoftObjectPath to add the PIE prefix depending on what is currently active, returns true if it was modified.
Public function Const FName Returns assetname string, leaving off the /package/path part and sub object
Public function Const FString Returns assetname string, leaving off the /package/path part and sub object
Public function Const FTopLevelAssetPath Returns the top-level asset part of this path, without the subobject path.
Public function Const FName Returns the entire asset path as an FName, including both package and asset but not sub object
Public function Const FString Returns string version of asset path, including both package and asset but not sub object
Public function Static int32  
Public function Const FName Returns /package/path, leaving off the asset name and sub object
Public function Const FString Returns /package/path, leaving off the asset name and sub object
Public function Static FSoftObjectPath

GetOrCreateIDForObject ( const UObject* Object
)

  
Public function Const const FString & Returns the sub path, which is often empty
Public function Const FSoftObjectPath Returns this path without the SubPath component, restricting the result to a top level asset but keeping the type as FSoftObjectPath in contrast to GetAssetPath.
Public function bool

int32 PortFlags,
UObject* Parent,
FOutputDevice* ErrorText,
FArchive* InSerializingArchive
)

  
Public function Static int32  
Public function Const bool

IsAsset ()

 Check if this represents an asset, meaning it is not null but does not have a sub path
Public function Const bool

IsNull ()

 Checks to see if this is initialized to null
Public function Const bool Check if this represents a sub object, meaning it has a sub path
Public function Const bool

IsValid ()

 Check if this could possibly refer to a real object, or was initialized to null
Public function Const bool

LexicalLess ( const FSoftObjectPath& Other
)

 Return true if this path appears before Other in lexical order
Public function Const void

PostLoadPath ( FArchive* InArchive
)

 Handles when a path has been loaded, call if loading with a method that skips SerializePath.
