UE5 ERROR for using USkinnedMeshComponent

[1mikiii99]

Hi hope yall doing well.
I have this c++ bluepring function library for getting character vertices which works fine in UE4 but when using same thing in UE5 it says

warning C4996: ‘USkinnedMeshComponent::SkeletalMesh’: Replaced by SkinnedAsset. Use GetSkinnedAsset()/SetSkinnedAsset() instead, or GetSkeletalMeshAsset/SetSkeletalMeshAsset() when called from a USkeletalMeshComponent. Please update your code to the new API before upgrading to the next release, otherwise your project will no longer compile.

I dont know how to replace USkinnedMeshComponent in my code with what UE5 suggesting.

MY CODE

Thanks everyone

Thanks!

I manged to get everything to compile after changing my code to use SkinnedAsset rather than SkeletalMesh:

//From:
SkeletalMesh = Context.AnimInstanceProxy->GetSkelMeshComponent()->SkeletalMesh;

//To:
SkeletalMesh = Context.AnimInstanceProxy->GetSkelMeshComponent()->GetSkinnedAsset();

Everything appears to be working now.
