Possible/Safe to load an individual actor from another world set?

Suppose you saved a TSoftObjectPtr<ASomeSpecialActor> to the asset registry for a world because you need a mechanism to peek into a world without fully loading or instantiating it.

  • Would this be problematic in any way?
  • What if it were a spatially loaded world partition actor?

The idea being is that from that soft reference, I could sync/async load it, and then use data off of the actor of a level without yet loading it.

Hi Jeremy,

The spatially loaded actors are assigned to cells(levels) during the cooking process and can only be accessed when that cell is loaded. It is not possible to load them outside of the cell.
