What It Means & How to Fix It

---

Why You’re Seeing This Error

C2672 means you’re calling a function (especially a templated function), but the compiler can’t find any overload that matches your arguments.

In UE5, this often pops up when:

• Using Cast<>, SpawnActor<>, CreateDefaultSubobject<>, etc., with wrong or missing template parameters
• Passing wrong types to templated functions
• Forgetting to explicitly declare the template type

---

Example Error Message

error C2672: 'Cast': no matching overloaded function found

---

Example Code

AActor* MyActor = Cast(SomeObject); //  Missing template argument

---

How to Fix C2672 in UE5 – Step-by-Step

---

1. Explicitly Provide Template Parameters

Fix:

AMyActor* MyActor = Cast(SomeObject); // 

---

2. Make Sure the Argument Type Matches

Unreal’s Cast<> only works on UObject* types.

Wrong:

Cast(FVector()); //  FVector is not a UObject*

---

3. Verify Argument Count and Template Usage

If you’re using UE functions like SpawnActor or CreateDefaultSubobject, double-check their full signature and required template arguments.

Summary: How to Fix C2672 in UE5

Cause	Fix Example
Missing template argument	Use Cast<AMyClass>(Obj) or SpawnActor<>()
Argument type doesn’t match	Only use with UObject*-compatible arguments
Using wrong overload	Check function signature and parameters
