header file:

```
template <typename ObjClass>
static FORCEINLINE ObjClass* LoadObjFromPath(const FName& Path)
{
	if (Path == NAME_None) return NULL;
	//~

	return Cast<ObjClass>(StaticLoadObject(ObjClass::StaticClass(), NULL, *Path.ToString()));
}

static FORCEINLINE UTexture2D* GetTexture2DByName(const FName& Path)
{
	if (Path == NAME_None) return NULL;
	//~

	return LoadObjFromPath<UTexture2D>(Path);
}

```

C++ file:

```
GetTexture2DByName(FName(*someFStringVariable));
```
