UAssetManager::GetPrimaryAssetData
#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: virtualconst
Description
Gets the FAssetData for a primary asset with the specified type/name. Only works for assets that have already been scanned.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns false and leaves AssetData untouched if the type hasn't been scanned yet or the name isn't registered — this is not an error condition, just check the return value.
- • Does not load the asset; it only returns registry metadata, so the asset may still be unloaded after this call.
