FindObject withough ANY_PACKAGE

[neofuturelabs]

Figured it out. Here is the solution for UEnums, but it can be generalized to other class types as well:

You have to replace ANY_PACKAGE with nullptr and prefix the class name (eg. ECustomEnum) with “/Script/[YourProjectName].”

For example, if your project name is “TPSGame”:

Before: const UEnum* enumObject = FindObject(ANY_PACKAGE, TEXT(“ECustomEnum”));
After: const UEnum* enumObject = FindObject(nullptr, TEXT(“/Script/TPSGame.ECustomEnum”));

Note that this will only find enums that are defined within your project (Engine enums will return nullptr).

Also, for anyone who happens to be dealing with UEnums, I found another more general solution here:

Conversion of Enum to String

ANY_PACKAGE is deprecated in 5.1 After some testing, here is an alternate solution that is easier to use and doesn’t use the deprecated macro. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Enum To String // Usage Example: // FString EnumString = EnumToString( EnumValue ); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// template< typename T > FString EnumToString( T EnumValue ) { static_assert( TIsUEnumClass< T >::Value, "'T' templa…

Bonus tip: If you don’t know a class’s context, one way you can find it out is by using FindObject on the class’s name with the deprecated ANY_PACKAGE macro, then printing *GetNameSafe(class->GetOuter()) to the log to find out what it is.
