Syntax

struct FSoftObjectPtr : public TPersistentObjectPtr< FSoftObjectPath >

Remarks

FSoftObjectPtr is a type of weak pointer to a UObject, that also keeps track of the path to the object on disk. It will change back and forth between being Valid and Pending as the referenced object loads or unloads. It has no impact on if the object is garbage collected or not.

This is useful to specify assets that you may want to asynchronously load on demand.
