Syntax

static bool ParseObjectPropertyValue
(
    const FProperty * Property,
    UObject * OwnerObject,
    UClass * RequiredMetaClass,
    uint32 PortFlags,
    const TCHAR *& Buffer,
    UObject *& out_ResolvedValue,
    FUObjectSerializeContext * InSerializeContext,
    bool bAllowAnyPackage
)

Remarks

Parses a text buffer into an object reference.

Returns

true if the text is successfully resolved into a valid object reference of the correct type, false otherwise.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Property	the property that the value is being importing to
OwnerObject	the object that is importing the value; used for determining search scope.
RequiredMetaClass	the meta-class for the object to find; if the object that is resolved is not of this class type, the result is NULL.
PortFlags	bitmask of EPropertyPortFlags that can modify the behavior of the search
Buffer	the text to parse; should point to a textual representation of an object reference. Can be just the object name (either fully fully qualified or not), or can be formatted as a const object reference (i.e. SomeClass'SomePackage.TheObject') When the function returns, Buffer will be pointing to the first character after the object value text in the input stream.
ResolvedValue	receives the object that is resolved from the input text.
InSerializeContext	Additional context when called during serialization
bAllowAnyPackage	allows ignoring package name to find any object that happens to be loaded with the same name
Property	the property that the value is being importing to
OwnerObject	the object that is importing the value; used for determining search scope.
RequiredMetaClass	the meta-class for the object to find; if the object that is resolved is not of this class type, the result is nullptr.
PortFlags	bitmask of EPropertyPortFlags that can modify the behavior of the search
Buffer	the text to parse; should point to a textual representation of an object reference. Can be just the object name (either fully fully qualified or not), or can be formatted as a const object reference (i.e. SomeClass'SomePackage.TheObject') When the function returns, Buffer will be pointing to the first character after the object value text in the input stream.
