UAssetManager::GetPrimaryAssetObject

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualconst

Description

Gets the in-memory UObject for a primary asset id, returning nullptr if it isn't currently loaded. Works even if the asset wasn't explicitly loaded through the asset manager.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns the Blueprint generated class object for Blueprint assets rather than a CDO or instance — check the returned type accordingly.
• A templated overload, GetPrimaryAssetObject<AssetType>, casts the result for you and is usually more convenient than calling this raw UObject* version directly.
