> In a specific situation where I need to access a loaded asset, I could only retrieve a const pointer. Casting away const on a variable and then modifying that variable results in undefined behavior: [const\_cast conversion - cppreference.com](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/const_cast) . Instead of const casting I realized I could simply get to the object by first making a soft pointer of the UObject pointer and then getting the asset. – Hacky? – const UObject\* A = nullptr; TSoftObjectPtr B = TSoftObjectPtr(A); UObject\* C = B.Get();
