Store blueprint class object

Development Programming & Scripting

I’m trying to code an inventory and I want to store a reference of a blueprint based on a C++ Class. As the Blueprint will be duplicated and be the different “items” a player can pick up. I also want to store the object type, not a pointer reference to a spawned actor, as I want this to work cross levels etc.

Pseudo code:

this->ActorClass = thisBlueprintIsOfType;

Here is what I currently have:

public:    	
	// Actor Name
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Pickup)
	FString Name;
	
	// Actor Image
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Pickup)
	UTexture2D* Image;

	// Actor Class
	UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Pickup)
	UClass* ActorClass;

	// Insert Image
	void UpdateInventoryObject(ATestActor* actor);

And the update function, the last variable assignment is obviously wrong:

void InventoryObject::UpdateInventoryObject(ATestActor* actor)
{
	this->Name = actor->Name;
	this->Image = actor->Image;
	this->ActorClass = actor;
}

I’ve tried

UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, Category = Pickup)
TSubclassOf<ATestActor> ActorClass;

But I’m not sure how to store that value in the function. TSubclassOf seems to be what I want thought if there isn’t a better way.
