UAssetManager::GetAssetDataForPath

function Engine Since 4.22

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Gets the FAssetData at a specific path, correctly handling redirectors and Blueprint classes along the way. Returns true if valid data was found.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Unlike a raw asset registry GetAssetByObjectPath call, this follows redirectors so moved/renamed assets still resolve correctly.
• For Blueprint classes, pass the object path (which may include the _C suffix) rather than the package path, or the lookup can fail to find the generated class asset.
• Runs synchronously against whatever data the asset registry currently has cached; if the target directory hasn't been scanned yet the lookup can fail even though the asset exists on disk.
