UAssetManager::GetPrimaryAssetIdForObject

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Checks whether the passed-in object is a registered primary asset and if so returns its id, otherwise returns an invalid FPrimaryAssetId.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Check IsValid() on the returned FPrimaryAssetId — there's no separate success flag, an unregistered object just yields an invalid id.
• Works by matching the object's outer package against registered asset paths, so a transient or PIE-duplicated object may not resolve even if its 'source' asset is registered.
