UAssetManager::GetContentRootPathFromPackageName
#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: static
Description
Returns the root mount path for a package name or path — for example /Game/MyPackage returns /Game/. Works even if the root isn't currently mounted.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Because it's a static utility that works on unmounted roots, it's purely string parsing — it does not verify the path corresponds to an actual mounted content directory.
- • Useful for classifying assets by plugin/content root (e.g. distinguishing /Game/ from a plugin's /MyPlugin/) without needing a live asset registry query.
