Hi
In Unreal Engine 5.3 the USkeleton::GetSmartNameByName is deprecated and in no longer used.
There was no replacement in documents,
Can someone help me find the substitution?

Well, if you’re calling this for getting curve data from AnimSequenceBase, the good news is: You wouldn’t need it anymore.

I recently rewrite my code to avoid warning and I can share a sample here:

 curAnimMontage->GetSkeleton()->GetSmartNameByName( USkeleton::AnimCurveMappingName, TEXT( "AtkForwardCorrection" ), CurveName );
 const FFloatCurve* corrCurve = static_cast<const FFloatCurve*>( curAnimMontage->GetCurveData().GetCurveData(CurveName.UID) );

replaced by:

  const FFloatCurve* corrCurve = static_cast<const FFloatCurve*>( curAnimMontage->GetCurveData().GetCurveData( FName( "AtkForwardCorrection" ), ERawCurveTrackTypes::RCT_Float ) )

Hope it’s the same case for you.
Good luck.

In the USkeleton class Smart Names have been renamed to CurveMetaData recently.
If you are looking for a function related to Smart Names, just look for a similar function that has “CurveMetaData” in its name
